My dear lgbt+ kids, 

Happy World Sleep Day! 

World Sleep Day is an annual event where people all over the world celebrate the importance of good sleep. Many people find it difficult to get the number of hours that they’d need. There are enough other things in our busy schedules that demand our time: school/work, household chores and errands, time for family/friends/partners, hobbies… sleep may seem like an easy thing to cut down on to make more time for other things. But getting enough sleep is essential for your physical and mental health! 

Why is sleep so important? Young people (teenagers and young adults) need between 8 and 10 hours of sleep per night in order to feel and function their best. Here are just a few reasons why:

During sleep, your body works to repair  tissues and organs. Getting enough sleep has been linked to a lower risk of many health conditions, including diabetes and heart disease. 

Sleep helps you consolidate memories and learn more effectively.

Sleep is important for your immune system, helping to keep you healthy and ward off illness.

Sleep is important for your mental health as well. Lack of sleep has been linked to mood disorders such as depression and anxiety.

Sleep deprivation can lead to decreased alertness, reaction time, and decision-making ability, making it more likely for accidents and injuries to occur. 

Improving your sleep habits can take time and effort, but the benefits are well worth it. Here are a few tips to help you get started:

Establish a regular sleep schedule: Try to go to bed and wake up around the same time every day, even on weekends.

Avoid electronics before bed: The blue light emitted by smartphones, tablets, and laptops can interfere with your body's natural sleep-wake cycle. Try to avoid using electronics for at least an hour before bed.

Create a sleep-friendly environment: Make sure your bedroom is dark, quiet, and cool. Use blackout curtains, earplugs, or white noise if necessary.

Practice relaxation techniques: Try deep breathing, meditation, or progressive muscle relaxation to help you unwind and fall asleep more easily. You’ll find instructions online! 

Avoid caffeine: Try to limit your intake of coffee, soda and energy drinks, especially in the afternoon and evening.

Get regular exercise: Regular physical activity can help you fall asleep more easily and improve the quality of your sleep.

It's easy to get caught up in our busy lives and neglect our sleep, but by making small changes to our routines, we can improve the quality of our rest and feel better both physically and mentally.

With all my love, 

Your Tumblr Dad

I won't listen when Tumblr tells me to go to sleep, but I'll pay attention if it's Hypnos!

World Sleep Day!

*hooOOoonk, shoooooooooo. mimimimimimimimi* *Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz* *inhale, exhale, innhaaaalle... exhaaaaaale*. *snore* On your back, on your side, on your face, if that's what you're into. There are many, many ways of doing it, and each and every one the right way. And it really could not be simpler: all you need is a bed, a blanket, a pillow, a nightcap, and your merry self. That's right, folks, it is, of course, sleeping. And, we hear you ask, why are we celebrating this basic human need? Well, that's because today is all about it. It's time to put on night gowns, extinguish lamp lights, and curl up in your bed/nest/cryogenic sleep pod/pile of leaves, because today is #world sleep day, a celebration of our beauty sleep, our nap times, our 40 winks, more or less. It's a beautiful thing, and we are very ready, and very sleepy. So curl up, buttercup, and let's get cosy.
