Sleeping in – the Familife happiness booster.
What? – During the week, the alarm clock rings too early for many, forcing them to drag themselves out of bed while still tired. Sleeping in doesn’t necessarily mean waking up late, but rather sleeping until you wake up naturally, without an alarm.
Why? – When we don’t get enough sleep, our body doesn’t have sufficient time to complete important metabolic processes and cell repairs. Sleep deprivation leaves us more irritable, less focused, and hungrier.
How? – The German Society for Sleep Research and Sleep Medicine recommends the following: Avoid caffeine after midday. Skip heavy evening meals. Minimise or avoid alcohol. Refrain from strenuous activities before bedtime. Establish a calming ritual before going to bed.
When? – Sleep duration is individual, often ranging from seven to eight hours. You can wake up feeling well-rested even early in the morning if your personal sleep needs are met. On average, women tend to sleep slightly longer than men.
With What? – Apps can track nightly rest and determine the optimal time to wake up. If possible, try skipping the alarm for 14 days to discover your natural sleep duration. The best way to learn how to sleep in is simply by practising it!
Learn to swim on holiday – stress free! We have just the right offer for you. Learning to swim is an important milestone and a matter of trust. Our four experienced swimming coaches Daniela, Marina, Janina and Christian, combined with the small group sizes of max five participants, will allow your child to learn at their own individual pace. At the end of the course we hand over the swimming badge (frog or seahorse) to the children that have achieved all the set badge requirements of the course. There are currently only very limited opportunities to learn to swim at pre-school or primary school age in many areas, making this the ideal opportunity to help your child become “water-safe”.
