EdYouWell
The EdYouWell Podcast is hosted by educators Alix Busch and Chelsea Henderson and created for teachers who want to be well and do well. With decades of combined classroom experience, we explore the real work of teaching and the real work of caring for yourself along the way.
Through honest conversations, reflections, and practical strategies, we dive into topics like energy, classroom practice, connection, and well-being—both inside and outside the classroom. EdYouWell is about moving beyond just getting through the school year and finding ways to feel grounded, supported, and sustained in this work.
New episodes are released biweekly.

7. Sleep Well, Teach Well
Welcome to another episode of EdYouWell! Today, we're diving into the world of sleep hygiene and its immense value, especially for teachers. Lack of sleep is a major contributor to burnout and affects our mental, physical, and emotional well-being. We all need that magical, restorative sleep, and it's a crucial part of maintaining a solid morning routine.
In this episode, we'll focus on the critical window of time before bedtime, as shutting off the mind and detaching from work and personal worries can be challenging. Fortunately, there are simple adjustments to your nightly routine that can lead to better rest. We'll explore THREE key factors:
1. Mind Mosquitos: Those persistent thoughts buzzing around in your head before bed can disrupt your sleep. We'll share strategies to clear your mind and find calm.
2. Winding Down: Discover effective ways to transition from a busy day to a peaceful night. It's all about creating a relaxing pre-sleep routine.
3. Your Sleep Environment: Your surroundings play a crucial role in sleep quality. We'll offer tips on optimizing your sleep space for ultimate comfort.
So, teachers, tune in to improve your sleep hygiene and set yourself up for brighter, more energized days ahead. Sweet dreams!
