What have you learned?
Remember that nobody will be keeping score. This quiz is only to help you find out how much you learned.
Question 1. True or False: It is OK to have a later temporary bedtime when you are starting a new sleep schedule.
True
False
Answer: True. It is best to start your temporary bedtime close to when you are actually falling asleep. Over several weeks, you can make your bedtime start earlier. Researchers have found that doing this over time is the best way to a longer sleep.
Question 2. True or False: You should use your nesting place for exercising and other energizing activities.
True
False
Answer: False. You should use your nesting place for calming activities like reading a book. Your nesting place should be comfortable and relaxing.
Question 3. True or False: Before bed is a good time to think about worries.
True
False
Answer: False. Thinking about worries before bed can make you more anxious and make it even harder to fall asleep. If you are finding it hard to “turn your mind off” when you are trying to sleep, consider scheduling “worrying time” earlier in the day to get your thoughts about your worries out of the way.
