Sleep Hygiene Worksheets

Sleep hygiene refers to habits and practices that promote better sleep quality. Common sleep barriers, such as excessive screen time and high stress levels, make good sleep hygiene increasingly important. Research shows that while young people have potential for better sleep due to having fewer sleep-interfering diseases, they often experience poor sleep quality. The Sleep Hygiene Worksheets are resources that allow clients to assess their current sleep habits and identify areas for improvement. It helps them in developing personalized plans — for instance, the My Sleep In Review worksheet lets them write down steps they can take to reduce sleep barriers. This worksheet set includes 3 total pages - My Sleep In Review, Sleep Diary, and What I Do Before Bed. Answering these worksheets gives kids and teens the opportunity to adopt healthier sleep behaviors to support better mood, decision-making, and energy levels. Adults can encourage sticking to a bedtime routine and model good sleep habits. They can also support the child by creating a calm and quiet environment that makes it easier to wind down. Our Benefits of Good Sleep and Tips To Improve Sleep handouts are nice informational supplements to these worksheets. *This item is an instant digital download.
