When kids do not get enough sleep, they might feel grumpy, distracted, and/or bored. Not enough sleep can lead to low energy, getting sick easily, having lots of negative thoughts, and feelings of hopelessness. Suggestions for sleeping better: going to bed and getting up at the same time every day, getting exercise, eating healthy, feeling safe and happy, and sleeping in a dark room. Sleep can be hindered by not going to bed at the same time every night, worrying about sleep, feeling fearful, sad, or angry, stress, eating too much junk food, and pain. Everyone benefits from a full night of sleep. Talk with your children to make sure they are feeling rested and rejuvenated when they wake up in the morning. (Information from Be the Boss of Your Sleep, Timothy Culbert and Rebecca Kajander) Reminder to check our website daily—the Daily Bulletin is published there as well as other scheduling and program information. www.johnsoncreek.k12.wi.us Graduation Gown Rental The School Counseling department has a small number of graduation gowns to rent for the graduation ceremony.
