Does anyone have recommendations on getting rest during the week? My SO pointed out to me over the weekend how different I am after a night of sleep and when I don’t have to worry about the next day..

I don't bring work home, ever during the week. Maybe once a month I will work on something for school on a Saturday. When I'm home, I vent about my day to get it out, but we don't talk about that afterwards.

Yeah, it really does make a difference. If you don't take many sick days, you might use one to catch up on sleep. Insomnia is a type of illness.

Have you tried meditation? It might help relax your mind

I’m a Reading Specialist in a Middle School and almost every day, one of the first things I do when I get home is to meditate. I purposely make time for this because it calms me down and puts things in perspective.

I totally recommend leaving at your contact time. Staying late doesn’t make you a good teacher and leaving on time doesn’t make you a bad teacher despite what a lot of teachers seem to say or if they give you a side eye look. Your peace of mind is essential to your ability to be a good teacher and this is one thing that has helped me. I refuse to feel guilty about making myself a priority.😊

I took a stress class that also covered the importance of sleep. Getting a good night sleep means I’m fully charged. Make sleep a priority.

I have my phone set to go black & white, soundless at 10 PM. My Do-not-disturb is enabled also. I have a time-out on Facebook (no more than an hour daily) No caffeine after 4 (should probably be 3, but, alas, I am an addict!)

Curious...what do you mean by your phone going black & white?
