Good Sleep Hygiene for School Students
Sleep is essential for children’s learning, emotional well-being, and physical development. In Australia, school-aged children (6–13 years) need 9–11 hours of sleep per night, while teenagers (14–17 years) require 8–10 hours.
Unfortunately, many students fall short of these recommendations, often due to screen time, academic stress, and irregular routines.
Poor sleep can lead to reduced concentration, memory issues, mood swings, and lower academic performance.
How to help - To support healthy sleep, parents and schools can encourage consistent bedtimes, limit device use before bed, and promote calming pre-sleep routines like reading or listening to soft music.
Creating a sleep-friendly environment—cool, quiet, and dark—also helps. Avoiding caffeine and heavy meals before bedtime is important, especially for teens. Schools can support sleep hygiene by educating students about its benefits and coordinating homework loads to reduce stress.
By prioritising sleep, we empower students to thrive both academically and emotionally.
