Description

This unit emphasises the importance of quality sleep for physical health, mental wellbeing and learning. Pupils explore how sleep affects their bodies and minds, understand the consequences of poor sleep, and develop practical strategies for establishing healthy sleep routines.

As Year 9 pupils face increasing academic pressures and screen time, many experience disrupted sleep during a critical period of development. This unit provides essential knowledge about the impact of sleep on growth, learning, mood, and mental health. At this stage, establishing healthy sleep routines is crucial for managing stress and maintaining academic performance. Understanding the relationship between screen use and sleep quality supports pupils to make informed choices that protect their wellbeing during adolescence.
