OPERATING WITHOUT SLEEP?
Here's a story. Bear with me. It's important.
This topic seemed to have pop up a few times just in the past few days.
...
● He fell ASLEEP. 😲😲😲
This happened a couple months ago. Even before class started, I could see it in his eyes. I could feel his energy, or LACK of. I could hear it in his speech. This kid was tired. Many of them are. In Korea, students are almost full-time workers. No. They are “working” more than full-time workers. They go to their regular school in the morning, usually around 8 am. Finish school in the afternoon. Elementary students leave their last after school academy around 7 pm. Middle and high school students get to go home around 8, or 9 pm. Sometimes 10 pm! Followed by dinner, shower, homework, and sleep around midnight or later. They REPEAT it everyday.
So, in my classroom, after we finish our tasks, sure, go ahead kids, and have some much needed, well-deserved, creative playtime. Kids NEED it. Research proves it. In addition to that, kids NEED sleep. So, when this one kid fell asleep in my class. I let him. I told his buddies around him to leave him alone. He needed it to be able to function in his next class. And the rest of his busy day.
● MOMENTS like this REMIND me that:
we ALL need sleep.
👉👉👉 A lack of sleep is NOT a badge of honor. It’s how we can care for others.
We need to be able to think, function, and be in CONTROL of a situation when the time comes for it. And all that takes energy.
ENERGY that sleep can restore. Kids don’t often resist the urge to sleep. They get cranky when they’re tired (I mean, don’t we all? Adults just seem to hide it better.)
⭐️⭐️⭐️ So, don’t make sleep a chore. Make it a RESPONSIBILITY. A PRIVILEGE.
Because when you get enough sleep, you can OPERATE and FUNCTION better. That makes you and those around you… HAPPIER.
Who doesn't want to be happy?
