EdYouWell
The EdYouWell Podcast is a space that helps teachers thrive rather than just survive the school year. Hosted by experienced teachers Alix Busch and Chelsea Henderson, this podcast explores the connection between being well and doing well, both at work and at home.
Teaching is meaningful work, but it can also be demanding, overwhelming, and at times isolating. That’s why EdYouWell exists. Here you will find encouragement, practical ideas you can use, and reminders that you are not alone. Whether you are navigating daily classroom challenges, looking for ways to care for your own well-being, or simply wanting to feel inspired again, this space is for you.
Take a breath, settle in, and dive into the well with us.

Welcome to another episode of EdYouWell! Today, we're diving into the world of sleep hygiene and its immense value, especially for teachers. Lack of sleep is a major contributor to burnout and affects our mental, physical, and emotional well-being. We all need that magical, restorative sleep, and it's a crucial part of maintaining a solid morning routine.
In this episode, we'll focus on the critical window of time before bedtime, as shutting off the mind and detaching from work and personal worries can be challenging. Fortunately, there are simple adjustments to your nightly routine that can lead to better rest. We'll explore THREE key factors:
1. Mind Mosquitos: Those persistent thoughts buzzing around in your head before bed can disrupt your sleep. We'll share strategies to clear your mind and find calm.
2. Winding Down: Discover effective ways to transition from a busy day to a peaceful night. It's all about creating a relaxing pre-sleep routine.
3. Your Sleep Environment: Your surroundings play a crucial role in sleep quality. We'll offer tips on optimizing your sleep space for ultimate comfort.
So, teachers, tune in to improve your sleep hygiene and set yourself up for brighter, more energized days ahead. Sweet dreams!
