Good sleep hygiene "works to heal the impacts of an overactive stress response" from ACEs (adverse childhood experiences), according to the talk I went to yesterday.
And what's "sleep hygiene"?
I had to look that up.
It's the stuff you do to help get good, regular sleep, like going to bed and getting up at the same time, having a comfortable bed, sleeping in a quiet, dark room, and not being online for a couple hours before bedtime.
Or whatever works for you. (The advice not to read in bed is anathema to me. How would I ever fall asleep?)
When my SVDP colleague––sorter & pricer Charlotte––was going to throw out an old wooden doll bed because one side had become loose (just needed a little glue), I asked if I could have it.
She said sure, and wrote out a price sticker for it:"FREE!"

Can you see how cool the bed is? One side slides up and down, like a real bed for children.
