Written specifically for teachers, school leaders and school staff, it brings together 99 simple, research-informed strategies to improve sleep, restore balance and protect your capacity during demanding terms.
Inside, you’ll find practical daily habits and realistic self-care approaches designed to help you sleep more deeply and feel more resourced for the day ahead.

“Easy to dip into and pick up a new idea to try.”
“Lovely to have all of these tips in one place to remind me of what I need to do more often.”
“I love this book! So helpful and full of simple, practical ideas.”
