Best Practices for Using Social Media - Duration: 4:27.

Social media sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, help IES to reach and engage

with users who may not otherwise see our content.

When you use different social media channels it allows you to engage with different audiences.

This video explains how to use social media channels creatively and effectively, and provides

examples and best practices for developing content more likely to receive user engagement

through social media.

Although there are a variety of social media outlets available, this video will focus on

three major channels that IES staff uses most frequently.

IES staff should contact their supervisors if they have content that they wish to post

to one of these platforms.

Twitter allows users to write short, scan-friendly burst messages or "tweets."

Although the capacity is 280 characters, the most concise tweets are most likely to be

read.

Using relevant hashtags—a word or phrase preceded by a hash or pound sign—makes your

content more searchable and engaging by linking your content to all other content with the

same hashtag.

Please ensure that a hashtag is appropriate for use on a Federal account before using

it.

You can see in this NCES example how a tweet encompasses relevant hashtags and appealing

images in 280 characters.

Facebook is also widely used by IES staff to post about their programs, Centers, and

surveys.

Unlike Twitter, there are no character limits.

However, best practices still call for shorter, more concise posts to reach users.

Posting images and videos to Facebook and Twitter breaks up written content and makes

it more engaging.

Additionally, users are more likely to skim over written text but will more likely click

on a tweet or post if the content also includes an image or video link.

In this example, you can see that the tweet uses an image pulled out of the promoted report

to help engage users and has, as a result, received many likes and shares.

Using Twitter as a means to chat is also a great way to engage with users.

In this NAEP example, staff members incorporated chat into their social media engagement.

IES uses YouTube to showcase its videos.

When using YouTube, creating playlists and using tags makes video content more searchable.

These IES playlists are good examples and focus on major programs and outreach efforts.

Celebrations and milestones help to call attention to a recently released resource or upcoming

event.

In this ERIC example, staff used National Thesaurus Day to promote the ERIC Thesaurus.

Posting videos, tweets, and Facebook posts at peak times is also important to consider.

Generally, weekday afternoons are optimal times for most social media outlets.

While there is no one-size-fits all approach to understanding your audience and timing

of posts, there are a number of tools that can help with understanding your audience

better.

Hootesuite is a social media management tool that provides content creators options to

more successfully engage users through social media.

Specifically, HooteSuite allows you to schedule social media posts.

It also provides the AutoSchedule feature, which helps determine the best time to post

or tweet based on when similar content performed well in the past.

To be most effective, social media should be used regularly.

By posting regularly, users see IES as a reliable and relevant resource for education data and

information and will continue seek those resources.

HooteSuite can also analyze platforms and can publish the same message at different

times based on audience engagement on each network.

Social media channels allow IES to disseminate research, statistics, and evaluation resources

to audiences that might not be reached through publications or the website.

In this social media framework, users are posting on behalf of IES.

For more information on social media, see the additional materials on IES's communication

training SharePoint site.

Woman Sells Virginity To Celebrity For $1.5 Million - Duration: 2:57.

A british teenager has sold her for 1.5 million dollars US to an unnamed Hollywood actor.

I'm going to tell you everything you need to know, here for you on IO.

What is happening people this is IO where we overload you with information.

I'm Charlotte Dobre.

Another girl is making headlines for selling her to the highest bidder.

Her name is Jasmin, she's from London and she's 26 years old, which is actually not

as young as some of the other girls who have done this over the last few years.

Like Alexander Kefren who was 18, and Giselle age 19.

SO needless to say, Jasmine is definitely not fresh out of high school.

She's a fully grown woman.

Jasmine allegedly sold it to an LA based actor for 1.5 million dollars, who was up against

a German businessman and a Manchester united soccer player.

Jasmin says that she is a fan of the actor who purchased her , and she and him have apparently

already gone out for dinner.

they are planning to meet some point in April in Germany to 'do the deed'.

Jasmin sold her through the notorious website Cinderella escorts.

Cinderella escorts actually goes so far as to prove the authenticity of their girl's

by having a trained doctor verify it and provide a certificate.

Definitely not the type of certificate you wanna put up next to your degree, but hey,

So what does Jasmin want to do with the 1.5 million big ones shes going to get for her

? She wants to start her own business.

Apparently, there are actually thousands of Russian girls that are being recruited to

sell their online.

There are scouts and dealers who recruit these girls, sell their to business men and then

take a portion of the sale for themselves.

Each one of these scouts sells around 10 a month, each one costing an estimated 28 thousand

US.

Apparently this market is so lucrative, that girls will have surgery to restore their hymens

to fool medical doctors into certifying their Anyways guys, at the end of the day, its jasmin's

body, and she can do what she wants.

Dav'n – You could fit a whole potato in charlottes mouth.

Depends what kind.

You can get pretty small potatoes.

Cadillac's glitzy Escala concept may be headed for production in 2021 - Duration: 2:57.

Cadillac has come a long way over the last couple of decades, clawing back some prestige

from the hegemonic German brands.

But Cadillac still lacks a luxurious flagship to rival the likes of the Audi A8, BMW 7 Series,

and Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

That may change soon, as Autoline claims General Motors will put the stunning Cadillac Escala

concept into production in 2021.

The Escala (the name is Spanish for "scale") first appeared at the 2016 Pebble Beach Concours

d'Elegance and made a strong case for itself thanks to handsome styling, a 4.2-liter twin-turbocharged

V8 engine, and sophisticated tech features like an infotainment system built around three

curved LED screens.

It's unclear how much of the original concept car could transition to the production model

but, given how Cadillac's rivals use their big sedans to launch new tech, we wouldn't

be surprised to see some form of that infotainment interface make it to showrooms.

Autoline cited a report from Auto Forecast Solutions showing that a car named Escala

will go into production in 2021.

The report claims it will be built at GM's Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant, which currently

manufactures the Chevrolet Volt, Impala, and Buick LaCrosse.

Like the concept version, the production-spec Escala would likely be based on the same basic

platform as the Cadillac CT6 sedan.

That platform uses a mix of aluminum and high-strength steel to keep weight down, but the Escala

would be larger.

The concept version measured 210.5 inches long, about 6 inches longer than a CT6.

The Escala would also be priced above the CT6, likely bringing the new sedan into the

six-figure range.

If Cadillac stays committed to the Escala name, get ready for search engines to confuse

it with the Escalade SUV.

If Cadillac really does build the Escala, it will be the culmination of years of teases.

Prior to the Escala, Caddy launched two other luxury flagship concepts, the Ciel convertible

and Elmiraj coupe.

As a more practical sedan, the Escala likely has the strongest business case of the three,

which may be why it's potentially getting the nod for production.

Regardless, it's about time Cadillac moved on from unveiling gorgeous concept cars and

actually put one

on sale.

The Partners for Work event brought together business leaders and hiring managers in the

Spokane community to meet and interact with the talent that exists within the disability

community.

As a result of my experience with the Partners for Work event, my team and I are actively

engaging the disability community as a recruiting source.

We recently hired two individuals and successfully onboarded them.

They are currently working in our manufacturing facility.

I was so impressed with the passion and the dedication that they had for their employers.

Individuals with disabilities have a lot of value.

Putting It All Together: Sleep Habits, Rituals, and Routines for Health and Wellness - Duration: 59:47.

Cathy Cave: Hello and welcome everyone.

Today we have our webinar on Science of Sleep, it's out third in the series.

My name is Cathy Cave and I am the Co-Director of SAMHSA's Program to Achieve Wellness and

I am going get us started today.

The views expressed in this training do not necessarily represent the views, policies,

and positions of the Center for Mental Health Services, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health

Services Administration or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Again, this is our Science of Sleep webinar series, module 3, putting it all together,

sleep habits, rituals and routines for health and wellness.

Our presenters today are Dr. Peggy Swarbrick who's a Senior Consultant for SAMHSA's Program

to Achieve Wellness and we have contributions from Joshua Calarino.

I'll turn this over to our presenters.

Have a great workshop.

Peggy Swarbrick: Great, thanks Cathy.

I'm really excited to be back again today in this third module in this series, the science

of sleep.

Today, as Cathy mentioned, we're going be really looking at putting it all together

and today, Josh and I will really try to highlight some of the things that have been in the previous

modules and then we're going to introduce some ideas around sleep habits, rituals, routines

and really the importance of how we can look at in terms of our goal being to define aspects

of sleep and we're going to talk a lot about this idea of sleep preparation, something

you can have control over, as well as the habits and rituals that often can really help

us to get a good night sleep or look at the ones that maybe are getting in our way.

Really the big piece will be defining these aspects of sleep.

Really then also discussing, really essential, the importance of sleep for good mental health.

Just can't underscore that enough and hopefully by the end you'll at least see, at least two

strategies, if not hopefully more, for improving sleep patterns and routines.

As we go through this session one of the things we're going to highlight is that we're going

to be talking a little bit about some of these ideas but we're also going to be encouraging

you to use the chat function.

As Cathy mentioned, I am the senior consultant for SAMHSA's program to achieve wellness but

I also have many, many years' experience working in the field and in my life on this

issue of sleep.

Today where I'll bring some of the ideas, is from my work as an occupational therapist

in this kind of work, things that I helped people who were struggling with sleep challenges

but as well as things I have done for myself.

I'm going to direct us today to these additional materials.

We have really good materials here for you.

Now, this information, there's going be a link in the chat box that you can access this.

These two tools will be really, really good that you could go to and use that will really

maybe help you to pull some of what we're going talk about together.

There will be some materials and resources there from the National Sleep Foundation,

a really wonderful resource that where we did get a lot of information from the module

series as well as the place that you can go to

In this diary, this sleep diary and the sleep log are things that could take just a few

minutes to complete but they're really important tools that you can use to start to become

aware of, just like wellness is becoming aware of and making choices for our lifestyle, these

are tools that can help us become aware of aspects of our sleep habits, routines, rituals

and how we can start to make some change.

Use these tools for ourselves.

You can share these tools with other supporters.

They're great tools to bring to your medical providers and they really help us look at

the things you can think about, habits around sleep, these tools do.

They do say even on the website material, just changing one habit at a time is a path

to healthy sleep.

National Sleep Foundation is really ... The goal is to improve health and wellbeing through

education and these are great educational tools.

So we direct you to them as you want to think about, a tool that you can follow up with

as you leave this module training today.

So getting into the nuts and bolts, what is sleep?

We all know what it is because we spend so much time.

But there's a lot to think about dissecting sleep.

I think about it from my occupational therapy perspective and what we talk about in occupational

therapy is the activities that are related to sleep.

There's a series of activities that happen.

They're these habits and routines and rituals that we have as part of our lives or our day

or our hour in our day that really can help us to go to sleep and stay to sleep.

There are specific activities many of us do and really one of the things we know that

we've talked about in previous session was the idea about that health and safety through

participation in sleep involves looking at our physical and social environment.

So we had highlighted a lot about that, especially in the first module.

Really encourage you to go back to it but we'll bring some of it forward and really

we know what's been talked about over and over again.

Sleep is so important to our health and going to sleep and staying a sleep.

Getting that good night's sleep, getting into that REM, that stage of sleep as we've talked

previously, very, very important that can help our mental, physical, spiritual, social,

all the other dimensions of wellness can be affected significantly.

So we'd really think that this is an important area for mental health recovery and when we

move into today, one of the things we're going to be talking about as I mentioned was from

an occupational therapy approach to sleep.

As an occupational therapist, worked with people with a variety of health conditions,

particularly in mental health.

That's where I did a lot of my work, helping people with various mental health challenges.

The difficulties getting to sleep, staying asleep and how sleep interfered with people's

other valued roles, work, healthcare, being a partner, being part of the community, sleep

problems affected all other aspects of people's work, school, social community life.

So we as OTs take a look at this idea of sleep participation, that's that whole getting us

into sleep, staying asleep, getting that really good night sleep but there's this idea of

sleep preparation and I'm going to talk a lot about that today as well as the habits,

routines and rituals that we create for sleep.

With an OT perspective, we try to look at promoting optimal sleep performance, just

like you have optimal work performance, you can have optimal sleep performance.

Some of the things we're going to talk about is learning about how we can get that just

right amount of sleep that works for us or getting that deep sleep that helps.

There's a lot of things we can do around some of our habits, routines and rituals that can

really help that and we're going to look at that.

So really, a big piece of OT is helping people to establish that individual sleep hygiene

routines that really help you get to sleep.

So I encourage you, those of you who know about OT, this is really a big piece of where

we're highlighting today.

Occupational therapists are really very well skilled in this, but also peer providers can

do this.

It's a really self-care area.

So where we start off with the first idea of sleep preparation, thinking about sleep

preparation is taking care of those personal needs, those areas in our life that help us

to get to that point where we can then lay our head down and hopefully get into that

deep sleep that really as we said, it restores cells, it helps to get us recharged for the

next day to meet the demands of things in our life.

But really again on that cellular level, getting on a good night sleep.

So to be able to prepare, we want to be thinking about our environments, our physical environments,

our social environments, and taking care of our needs.

So thinking about those things that we do to take care of our personal needs to get

us into that habits and routines related to getting that, putting our head on that pillow

or wherever we put it down to feel well rested and get into that deep sleep.

It's taking care of our own needs and then again if we're working with other people in

our environment, it's negotiating the needs of others in our social environment.

So two things to think about, our own needs and those are a set of needs, the things that

we might do as well as other people's needs in our environment.

Again, it's not only the needs but what happens in that social environment around the interactions.

There's other people that might share the space or be in close proximity ... I'm thinking

of the word.

Close to our room.

They might be in another room.

They might be in the living room.

They might be somewhere around.

So it's being able to interact and negotiate those with people who are in shared spaces

or in spaces that are nearby the space that we're occupying to be working on our sleep

participation.

So really, be mindful of thinking of your needs, your own needs, the people around you.

How do we negotiate that and how do we figure out again getting to self-care, knowing what's

good for us and advocating for ourselves?

We might have to negotiate with people about things and the being able to know about monitoring

the comfort and safety of ourselves while sleeping and those things can sometimes can

relate to our needs or relate to those other things or put people or things in our environments

that might be influencing.

Again, we might be taking care of someone else, we might be a caretaker so that's going

to influence our sleep in certain ways because if someone's sick and we're taking care of,

we might have to be more of on alert and how do we negotiate that or figure out a way that

it doesn't get in the way of the sleep?

Habits that we need to get that optimal sleep.

So thinking about engaging in those routines that prepare for a comfortable sleep, there's

a lot of things related to grooming and undressing or getting the right kind of thing that we

wear.

Many of us have preference around what we wear.

It could pajamas or it could be sweat things or it could be nothing.

There's all different preferences around what's comfortable in our sleep.

So being aware of a knowing what that is and being able to do those activities that really

we know promote a good sleep.

For some people, it can be reading or listening to music or some kind of sound or some kind

of a thing that kind of gets us into that ability to get into that sleep.

It's like maybe having things around, saying something to someone, giving a kiss to someone.

There's lots of different things that people have that help get into that habit around

what they do to then really put them in that good physical and emotional state to be able

to fall asleep.

People sometimes have things related to prayers or meditations that they do.

So it's really knowing what those routines are and using them and doing them as much

as we can.

Sometimes it's having to negotiate with people to let them know what they are for us and

let them know what we're doing.

It's also preparing the environment for that time.

We want to prepare the environment.

We just don't think about that enough, making the bed or other sleep space.

We talked about that earlier.

Not having our computers and all the other stuff in there that might be related to our

work life or our school life or other kind of life.

Try to clear that stuff out of the way so we can make that space just right to meet

the needs that we have around getting into that sensory awareness that the sounds that

we need or that don't need and the things in those environments that might be triggering

for us.

So making sure the bed space or the sleep space is really in a way that it's going to

help prepare us for that period of unconsciousness and where our bodies can heal.

Again, looking at the temperature, the warmth and the coolness and that's also preferences.

Everyone has different preferences and as you age or your body changes, sometimes that

changes over time.

So knowing, having the right kind of sometimes that relates back to what we're wearing and

making sure or putting on the right kind of clothes to prepare for that so we don't wake

up in the middle of the night, we're too hot or we're not warm enough.

Getting that environment ready.

Then the safety concerns, depending on our situation.

There's security and safety concerns.

People many times who are dealing with certain trauma experience.

This is very, very important for helping people to think about that and getting their sleep

environment, that physical environment prepared for that period of time.

Things like, I've mentioned in previous, just looking at those electronic devices or lights

and related back to the previous slide, talked about the drawing the curtain.

I know for myself, the light was a big one that I really ... When I really use a lot

of these tools that we're talking about tracking and trying to figure out the right environments,

I really found it was really being in a hotel where that came to my ... That I really needed

to get the proper shades or blinds in my room to get me that room fully dark that enough

to be that right kind of sleep that I needed, in addition to a mask now, I use a lot to

help get out that stimuli because I'm very, very sensitive to that light, any kind of

light.

So again, sometimes it's a trial and error to figure out what's the right type of stimuli

or lack of stimuli we need to get us into that way of preparing to get to that good

night sleep.

But it's really, really important that we think about these things.

Again, those other factors.

Animals is one.

Not only partners but if we have animals, sometimes they're great for sleep too but

sometimes they can have their own rhythms that don't match with our rhythm and we have

to kind of figure out how to negotiate that as well.

So we think about them also in terms of sleep.

There's the preparation so that preparing what we do to prepare our self, prepare the

environment, dealing with people that's in it, that's really important.

Then there's things that relate to our sleep habits.

Habits sometimes are more automatic behaviors that are really often integrated into these

complex patterns.

We all have habits.

We have good ones.

We maybe have ones that we don't think are so good.

But there are really some sleep habits that many people have or can develop that can help

people to really engage in that sleep preparation process and then hopefully getting into our

deep sleep on a daily basis.

The one that we see hear, brushing teeth for many people, that's one that definitely is

part of a habit that people will do that really gets them into fresh space, that space in

their mouths or other things that they do related to that that makes them really feel

good that they can go to sleep or start to lay their head down and really feel fresh.

There's other things related to even just that one habit of brushing your teeth.

There's probably different ways people do brush their teeth.

There's different lengths of time people do, different things that people do.

They're all things that can actually foster some good night's sleep for us.

Again, sleep habits are so important to be thinking about especially the good ones and

there's probably a lot of them.

Some people have to have ... I just talked into someone this morning and she said about

she has to have a little snack before going to bed and that's part of her habit, whereas

for me, that's not one that's going to work but that works for her and gets her into that

good night sleep so she can get up and go to work.

There's also what we've talked about, sleep habits that can support our sleep, taking

a warm bath, having that snack.

Myself, it's getting that bath.

Going through a whole piece of the brushing the teeth but also a whole host of things

in the bedroom to do to prepare the bedding.

But then there's also things that can interfere with that.

Many people do report texting in bed or having the TV in the room, things like that, or habits

that sometimes interfere with their good night sleep or getting to sleep, keeping asleep.

There's also a whole bunch of other habits that we have in our, maybe in our evening

routine.

Sometimes you want to think about those habits that even start the minute you got in the

door, whether that's 5:00, 8:00, 9:00, that often can lead up to a good night sleep.

Sometimes, there's habits related to what we are reading or what we are drinking or

what we are drinking and chemicals that can influence our sleep.

So again, as you start to use these sleep diaries, sleep log tools, you might start

to see some of those patterns.

So we have talked already now about sleep habits, sleep participation and sleep preparation.

Now, what we're going to do is I'm going to turn it over to Josh who's going to really

give us some really good examples of some of the things that he's done and some of the

challenges he's had.

Joshua Calarino: Hello everyone.

My name is Joshua Calarino.

Thank you for that introduction, Peggy.

So within my own personal experience, a lot of sleep took a major, major toll on my mood

but more so on my mental health and that in turn took a tool in school and the classes

I was taking and friendships I had and things like that which only added to the toll on

my mental health.

The lack of sleep was, it just was not working.

I just could not function properly during the day.

I could not interact socially.

I couldn't work.

It was very, very bad.

So I needed to definitely find a way to get rid of that.

I took some time to really think about and it was that I was taking a lot of my stress

to bed.

Taking things like the friendships I had, all the schooling that I was not excelling

in due to my lack of sleep and everything, I was taking all of that to bed and I was

just tossing and turning all night and I couldn't do it.

It was just impossible for me at that time.

So what I decided to start doing was really take the time to sit down and figure out what

was going on.

I was trying to overcome my challenges and one of the ways that I started doing that

was making sure to block off time to sleep.

I would specifically set a time, whether that was 10:00, 11:00, anytime of your choosing,

I was able to set it for 10:00pm and I said, "At this time, I'm going to shut down and

I am going to bed and I'm going to stay in bed all the way up until say 7am."

It was always that time.

I needed to do that because before, I didn't have a shutoff button.

I will just keep going and going and going and I knew that I needed some way to slow

that down.

So I made sure that in my mind, in my body and my spirit that from 10pm to 7am, I was

off.

I was on off mode.

That also allowed me to make a ritual so that I knew that before 10pm that all the things

that I needed to do to be able to go to bed so my sleep preparation, my sleep habits,

everything like that was done and finished before 10pm.

So for me specifically, I would do a small workout.

I would then shower.

I would brush my teeth or I would drink water actually.

Water is very big for me.

Then I would brush my teeth and I would switch into my very, very comfortable pajamas and

I would go straight to sleep right after that and it worked every time.

But unfortunately for me, that just wasn't enough.

It's one thing to be able to block off your time and it's one thing to be prepared for

bed, but I still sat up at night and I would toss and turn due to all of the stress and

the anxiety that I was seeing for the upcoming day.

So what I started to do was using stress release tactics.

So what I did is that did deep breathing exercises.

The exercising beforehand would also help me release my stress as it has some stress

relief capabilities when you do physical exercise.

I would deep breathing exercises.

I would do prayer.

I would pray personally, some mild meditation and would be just going over and reviewing

my entire day and just really thinking about all of the things that I can try and do better

tomorrow.

That gave me a very good sense of relief and it really calmed my anxiety and really toned

down my mental health struggles and things like that and really, really allowed me to

be able to sleep more soundly at night.

That was my personal experience.

Peggy Swarbrick: Josh, we're going to hear a lot more from Josh as we go along, as well

as we're going to hear from you guys.

We've heard a lot of some amazing experiences, just really using these tools and really doing

that self-introspection and starting to take a look at what you would ... Josh, what was

going for you.

I think that what we wanted to encourage our participants is to think about the question

and Josh, you can highlight any of these things because you have many of them.

But as we are going to have in the chat box, we want to hear from the group what sleep

habits helped you to get a good night sleep and which ones are getting in the way.

So let's hear in our box.

Maybe we could start to hear what people are saying.

We'll from them.

Josh, do you want to just highlight what you have just said or anything else you wanted

to say about the sleep habits that have helped you get a good night's sleep or any that you

might want to mention about that got in the way of a restful sleep?

Joshua Calarino: I know that just to ahead and expand on that, one of the things that

got in the way was I've stated before that I live with my mom.

You had to share that space of sleep and wellness and having her in such near proximity and

having to plan around that as stated before was just really something that was in the

way.

Peggy Swarbrick: Can everyone start using the chat box and we'll see ... Okay, we've

had drinking night time tea and reading a book before bed.

We have there's glasses that screen out the blue light of a technology which can really

impact people's sleep as we mentioned and the person mentioned they can get to sleep,

making sure my bed is made before I get into the bed to sleep is a sleep habit they use.

So there's the tea, the reading, really preparing the bed, avoiding looking at the cellphone

or laptop.

Yeah, that's one that's definitely one that really again, some of the things in the first

webinar we went over, really highlighted some of the problems with that, using that technology

in the room where we sleep.

Anyone else want to share anything that gets in the way or something that's really helping

to get into good night sleep?

Prayer and a gratitude list is another one.

A cup of protein tea milk or turmeric milk helps.

Lavender spray.

So again, getting back to the other one, the sensory modalities, that lavender, some type

of smell sometimes that people talk about.

When I do the laundry and I put that down and that day that you do it, it really feels

good to go to a real clean, good smelling sheet.

Again, related to what Josh talked about, this one is essential.

Keeping that same bedtime and wake time on ... This one says one weekends as I do during

the week.

That's one, definitely the same time is so important and then for some people it's keeping

that consistent across seven days.

Some people can change it up to the Saturday and Sunday but I found that one also was really,

really important.

So we've got some great things coming in so keep ... We also asked you to think about

what are new habits you can adapt to get satisfying sleep.

So you might not be doing it but you may have done it in the past.

You want to be thinking about those things as well.

Joshua Calarino: If I can just mention for a moment, Peggy.

I know one of those for me, a new one that I've sort of adapted since the one that, since

the sleep habits I've described before was that I like the sound of rain calms me.

So I'll add maybe some small background noise of just some rain falling, some audio or things

like that or if it's raining outside, I'll take deep listen.

Peggy Swarbrick: Yeah, that noise.

That's really ... So again, as the habits that are helping us to get a good night sleep,

we have some really good ones.

Taking a shower before I go to bed.

A lot of people really talking about that, that technology being a challenge, some of

the things that are coming through.

Then you get these new things.

That's the one thing I love about working with people who in recovery and sleep in such

a big area, it's an area I've worked a lot for myself for other people.

I'm always amazed at some of the new things that people are saying that they trying or

really ... That you can learn so much from people.

Someone else is saying listening to a podcast Sleep With Me.

There's some really good mindfulness things.

I know a couple of peers who use a lot of the mindfulness tapes to help them to really

settle in that night routine.

So using that kind of technology can really help.

So great, we're really appreciative.

As we go along, just keep yourself, those of you, a lot of people only listening, we

will want to hear from you as well if you can share some of your ideas so keep yourself

attentive to the chat box because we'll be moving along as we go through.

So thank you so much for everyone.

Before we go, anything else you want to say, Josh, before we move into the next piece?

Joshua Calarino: Yeah, one quick it that I see here is someone said that exercising too

close to bedtime negatively impacts their sleep practices.

I think it's important to highlight and you said it earlier that there are differences

in everyone's sleep habits and their sleep preparation.

It's completely individual where exercise for me help me, for them, negatively impacts

it.

Peggy Swarbrick: Yeah.

Excellent point.

All of these things are so self-defined just like wellness is a self-defined process of

becoming aware and making choices for our lifestyle.

This is all self-defined.

It's all going to be personal preferences and our needs, our sensory needs, our biology's

are so different.

Again, the last one before we move is the great relaxation apps.

A lot of people again, say these things really help, those rain as you were mentioning Josh

or the waves and sounds can really help people quite a bit.

So a lot of great things that really help.

I know myself I got into a yoga routine now and I know the day and I know the yoga also

helps and the days I don't get to the yoga, I actually have ... I make sure I set aside

time at the evening to just do a couple of poses because it's definitely one that helps

with that winding piece.

So again, personally defined, building them into our routines.

But some really great practical ideas we have heard about in terms of people's sleep habits.

We'll move into this idea of rituals.

So when we speak about rituals, all of us probably have so many different rituals if

we really look at it.

I think it sometimes it seems better when you're younger, you can almost more identify

it rather than now, do I really have a ritual, you might think.

Is that just more of a habit or routine?

But rituals are things that really have a symbolic connection to ... It could be connected

to our spiritual side or cultural side or some aspects of social.

So there's symbolic action that's connected to this activity or this set of activities

that we do.

Again, rituals also become hard to break as well.

So they're good to get when you get a ritual in down, but if we have ones that are challenging

rituals, they're hard to break.

But they really oft can have a very strong component to it.

So we want you to think about many cultures have different rituals that may relate to

sleep.

So you may have that from your upbringing and you may have continued to do it or you've

maybe gotten away from it.

It would be important to think about, "Did I have something when I was younger that connected

to my culture, my spiritual, my side that I'm connected that really helped me?"

So we really want you to be mindful of that or was there something in the past or is there

something currently?

Again, a lot, a cultural or a ritual that many people have and I know probably, I know

myself, was like reading a child a book before, like so many people, that's part of what they've

done in their upbringing or they've had that happen for them or they do it now with their

children or their grandchildren or nieces or nephews, it's a ritual that often many

people who are ... Really helps with that whole preparation.

It's a whole part of that sleep preparation process.

So we want you to be thinking about that and thinking about putting into the chat box what

rituals have been important for you to get quality restful sleep.

Again, thinking about having that symbolic connection to the spiritual, cultural, social

meaning.

Joshua, did you want to say anything about that for you?

Joshua Calarino: Yeah, like I said earlier, one of my sleep rituals was actually both

prayer and some meditation.

I would pray and then I would meditate right after it and that was ritual that helped me

out tremendously.

Peggy Swarbrick: Yeah.

So for other attendees, we encourage you.

We have another routine here that someone put in I'll mention about washing face with

warm cloth and then doing a body scan when I get into bed and listening to the radio

or speaker tape that's playing softly, softly playing.

So that sounds like another ritual, a routine that someone identified that looks really

a good one.

The prayer, the meditation as you've been mentioning.

I encourage everyone else to kind ... Let's hear what your rituals, sleep rituals that

you have that's important for your quality sleep.

Again, reading some of them.

Some of them are still on the habit, on the habits that we had before.

Warm showers.

Spray sheet with lavender spray, read a book.

Really excellent habits people use as part of their sleep preparation and warm bath,

yeah, those are really ones that many people say are really important, like really cleaning,

that temperature really help into lying down the body.

Someone wrote that they have a prayer they do every night and they've done the same one

for over 10 years.

When I don't, it makes me feel weird and that's the first thing they'll do in the morning.

So really, yeah, having prayer, meditation, something that you read, sleeping, it really,

really be something that could be really helpful and especially when it's really connected

into some kind of a cultural or spiritual or social meaning.

It often has a very strong impact for us and so that's one of the reasons why we're encouraging

you to think about these things and just write them in the ... Into the box and we'll kind

of read them as we go along.

I'm reading again, someone talking about the comfort in the house and the thing about the

mattress too.

That was one of the thing that I wanted to mention that I forgot earlier is thinking

about your bedding.

So not only that preparing your environment and scanning the environment as you do your

sleep preparation things but also being mindful of the linen, sometimes finances can get in

the way but the quality of the bedding we have, as well as the mattress.

Many people on my work as an OT, we find sleep ... We help sleep aids and help props for

people to get a good sleep and sometimes the bedding, you have to be very mindful of the

type of the mattress because that sometimes could be contributing to some people's poor

sleep because the mattress is not being hard enough or being too firm and again that different

preferences.

So we have a lot of different things that have been coming through and again some different

routines that people are highlighting.

It's great to see that people are writing in the box so we encourage you to keep doing

that.

We'll move it along and we'll probably go back and maybe even Cathy at the end might

take up on a couple of them but I'm going to move it along a little bit to the routines.

So when we think about the habits and rituals, how to get strung into a routine and they

become that pattern, that's really going to be really, really something as you start

looking at this clearly and start to think about the ones that you really want to keep

or the ones you want to get rid of or you want to eliminate.

Seeing how they come together to help support our good night sleep.

Really important again, I think one of the things just as great when you told the story

and we'll show it at the end is you start to think about the time to get there and the

time to end it.

So always having that bookends on the timing around.

I'm going to get to sleep by this time and I'm going to get up by that time.

That becomes two markers.

But then it's those things before that period where you get, okay, so it's the 10:00 time,

those routines before then that we want to be mindful of.

Then again, it doesn't just end when you wake up.

There's probably a series of things that when we get our foot on the floor that we want

to be thinking about as routines that are really going to help prepare us for a good

day.

So really want to be thinking more about these habits, routines, rituals, again, how they

really help us with putting into sleep participation activities that we ... Preparation activities

that can help us to get a good night sleep.

So again, we're just going to come back to that we've been highlighting, so important.

So the need for sleep routines, the sleep preparations for people who have identified

with mental, serious mental illness is so essential.

As you can see, a lot of the literature shows the significant challenges.

There's a lot of literature and there's so much of our lived experience that we know

from peers that will work in such an important area that we can help people.

So we want to note that establishing routines can really help people.

Helping people to really find ways to start to develop and putting in some of these strategies

into the light is really going to be helpful and there's a lot of evidence that does work.

We have lots of researches that we are sharing about the literature that's been looking at

these studies, that has been looking at this, but we know from lived experience, you've

heard from Josh.

I have some experiences and a number of people working with through many long years, this

does really work when people take a look at these.

There's a lot of studies that show that many people living with many different illnesses

can really improve functioning, functioning in school, work, social life, all of the areas

of our life when you develop daily habits, routines for sleeping.

Really focusing on the sleep.

We have also studies that show that when we help people with health stuff management,

when especially around sleep can help empower people who are discharged from in-patient

facilities to get that sense of normality, helping people to get those routines and help

people to take them into their life.

That's one of the things that happens is when people go into the hospital, they might get

to sleep.

We don't spend enough time helping the person figure out, okay, what's happened in this

hospital that might help you and translating that into the home environment.

So a big area for our own personal education, our own advocacy, our own recovery, as well

as the field.

How are we helping to have these dialogs with people and not just go into pharmacological

way to answer the problem because as mentioned previously, that becomes even a bigger problem.

So there are significant studies that are showing.

Another piece of a study because people want to know, okay, what's the evidence of those.

We know we are evidence that these experiences are really valuable and a lot of the things

we saw on the chat box, these are working for people.

Sleep quality is really a cornerstone in promoting wellness and self-management.

There's a really, really, really good study that we referenced here by some folks at Yale

that really is highlighting about improved sleep, diet and exercise in adults with serious

mental illness.

It was a pilot self-management intervention there's a very ... The variety of these interventions

or programs that are being developed that are really looking at this as an area that

can help people's mental health recovery and help people to do deal with symptoms and manage

their life and getting to the recovery that they want.

So this is just an example of a study by Timothy Schmutte, Larry Davidson and Maria O'Connell

that really just shows that teaching people sleep and self-management around sleep, because

all we're talking about today is self-management strategies, can really, really help people.

So that's some more of the evidence.

So we want to just get back to hearing a little more about you guys who are listening here.

What sleep routines are helping you get a satisfying quality sleep?

We've had a couple of them come in already that we've heard.

One person answered a really good one, I like this one too because I tried it sometimes,

is getting it all set on Sunday, like really thinking it ahead, not only the night before

but the week before, getting on Sunday, preparing a lot of these things out for yourself, meals,

planning exercise based on what that week looks like and then starting to manage them

along the day.

That's what the person has mapped out, a great, great strategy.

Looking at some more.

Oh, a really good one for routines again.

People highlighted that hasn't been mentioned yet.

But alarm, that alarm, sending that alarm maybe to remind you to get to bed or to wake

up on both ends.

It can really help.

Someone wrote, I am struggling to stay asleep at night.

Maybe Josh, you had talked about that.

Maybe you want to mention something about that.

Joshua Calarino: About my sleep routine?

Yeah, I mean-

Peggy Swarbrick: Someone asked, I struggle staying asleep at night and you mentioned

that in your story so maybe you want to highlight some things from that.

Joshua Calarino: Yeah.

I was incredibly introspective with myself when it came to having trouble staying asleep

and the whole tossing and turning and the amount of stress.

Again, this is very individual.

But one thing that I did was really, really sat down with myself, I mean, really thought

about, like what is going on with me and looked into all aspects.

I'm trying to figure out what is causing me to wake up at night, right, asking myself

those questions and really digging for an answer and then finding it and being able

to address it that way.

You can also try and just adjust what it is you're ... Or either make a sleep routine

if you don't have one and if that still doesn't work then try and adjust till you find something

that really fits your bill.

Then if that doesn't work, then again, you can really try and take some time to be introspective

and really figure out what it is that is keeping you up at night or waking you up at night.

Peggy Swarbrick: At the end, we'll highlight about the dairy as a log.

You might want to start to use that a little bit and track yourself over seven or 14 days.

That might also help.

It's using those tools yourself but sharing them with people as well.

So thanks Josh for putting that.

People, want to send your comments to all participants because a lot of them are coming

directly to Deanna and folks.

I'm just so wonderful to see these stuff.

I can't even keep up with reading it, some of these.

What we're going to try to do is put them together and share them with you because I'm

just amazed with some of these wonderful things people are saying.

Some of the things are similar but some of them are very specific and really people highlighting

things around meal prep, things like that, so we really want to hear more.

The temperature things.

One person I did want to mention before I move is the idea about, someone mentioned

there, a diabetic, so again when you have another medical issue, making sure I don't

forget my insulin at dinner and bedtime and not drinking a lot of water after 7pm.

When you have something else, making sure those other things start to come into your

sleep preparation routines and habits.

So making sure think about that and building that because it definitely can really affect

our sleep.

So again, bringing it in, I'm going to move to a few things and then we're going to start

to wrap down.

But establishing that bedtime habits, routines and rituals, this can start again as I mentioned

from the time you walk in the door from wherever you are, if you're in a program, school or

work, volunteering, whatever it is you're doing, trying to start that, you start to

really think about those things because they can really have a very positive and or negative.

Again, you're having fights with people, you're bringing your stress home from work, things

are going wrong in the house, the house is not in the way that you want it, they can

all affect that and we can take ... Start to chip away on it slowly by slowly and it

really can make a positive effect on your getting that good night sleep.

I do want to highlight something here that might ... Again, this kind of really summarizes

a majority of what we've talked about here today, to start to help you think about this

for yourself.

You've done some great job with what you've been writing out there.

Start to think now for yourself, what is that and we did break it out, weekday versus weekend

because that can differ for people.

Some people mentioned they want to keep it consistent, someone like myself.

But other people break it out.

I know earlier in my life, I broke it differently.

I gave myself a lot more sleep on the weekend but as I get older, I don't seem to need as

much sleep.

I don't know why.

But that's just, I have to accept that for myself.

But knowing when it is and start to figure out when it is that works for you and I'm

going to go to bed by this time and I'm going to wake up by this time, you start to set

that natural body clock and our body clock affects our whole other parts of our body

system.

So real important to think about what's that good amount of sleep and then start to map

out here for yourself what are some of the habits, what are some of routines, some of

the rituals, even if you just after the webinar just start to map this out for yourself, look

at it, see what's going well or what you want to improve.

You can start to make that small step since that's what it says on the sleep foundation,

just one habit at a time can really influence people's getting a good night sleep.

So this is just a resource we have here that we wanted to mention.

I did want to highlight rest.

Now, resting is important.

I'm usually someone who I don't want to start to rest because then my body is going to slow

down but then when I started to meditate or rest or just take that little, two, three,

five, seven, 10 minutes to rest has a really important effect.

So rest can help sleep even though we think we shouldn't stop and you see someone ... Like

their father use to just shut his eyes and they say, "What are you doing?"

"I'm getting my eyes a little break."

Well they had to rest.

Quiet and effortless action that can interrupt physical and mental activity.

Just think about the value of that when we're really stressed.

Can we stop it and get into a relaxed state just for a few minutes?

So finding ways to rest or build in rest and basically there was an interesting ... There

was a Dr. Bill Anthony who was a very, very noted person in the field of psychiatric rehabilitation.

He was a wonderful man.

He is a wonderful man.

He wrote some books on the art of napping and really good books and just wanted to mention

that, because it's rest.

Take that rest.

Take a nap.

We do it as children.

It helps our development.

Maybe as we get older, we can take that rest or we can take that nap and we knew that it

does ... Just thinking about adding a few minutes of rest into our day how that can

help.

A couple of people, people can't do it at work.

But I think even just having that rest, breaking away, getting out, going under a tree somewhere

and resting could be something we might think about trying to do.

So we've done a lot of information today.

I'm going to hand it to Cathy to help us with the Q&A.

Cathy Cave: Can you hear me all okay?

Joshua Calarino: Yeah.

Peggy Swarbrick: Yeah, great.

Cathy Cave: Thanks.

Thank you for that information.

Josh, so great hearing from you as well.

Just wanted to comment on one of the things that came up around kind of knowing ... Having

someone comment on knowing that the TV is bad for me but that the background noise is

really important to kind of help manage anxiety.

So I really wanted to offer a couple of thoughts around that in response to that.

Many of us have survived some really harsh experiences and due to trauma reminders may

have a hard time going to sleep and staying asleep.

The television for many of us can be comforting.

So a couple of thoughts around that.

Just to lower it as much as you can so that if commercials come on while you're sleeping

because often commercials can be louder than a television show.

They can wake you up once you've gotten to sleep.

So adjust the volume as much as it best supports your sleep.

Then to also think about other sounds that might be useful and trying out ... Peggy,

there was something you said about chipping away at it, trying a new thing and then a

new thing and a new thing.

So it may take a while to find kinds of sounds that are soothing and comfortable.

For many of us who have sound machines, they have many different kinds of sounds.

So trying what might work and testing that out.

Peggy, there was something that you also spoke to around having pets that sleep with us and

pets can be great.

We had to train our dog to sleep with us at the foot of the bed because in her ... She's

great.

She's a great comfort but we have two cats and everybody likes to be in the bed.

Once we trained her to stay at the bottom of the bed, I actually got more sleep because

she wasn't waking me up trying to get to the pillow or trying to ... I might turn over

and I can't move the covers so I end up being more awake.

So it's really thinking about, I like the way you said it, the pet's routines often

don't match with ours.

So trying to figure that out.

But with a little bit of training, it really did change things.

As someone who has survived childhood trauma, having my pet in bed really does help.

Routines that folks talk about in terms of habits and the routines that would ... They

get to be regular practice and can enhance what we do.

So as, again, someone who has had some adverse experiences, walking around my house at night,

there's the routines I have that are about taking care of my pets, do they have water,

have they all been out, that kind of stuff.

Then there's making sure that the blinds are drawn and the doors are locked and windows

are secure.

There's a window that I like to have open a little bit, I might open that.

Make sure that I feel okay about that.

Then to put that together with a thought or a meditation or a text to a friend that says,

"I'm in for the night and thank you."

So it's wanting to put together the ways that the routines and the habits and our rituals

really can come together in a way that supports sleep better.

Thank you for covering all that ground today.

Peggy Swarbrick: Any other questions from anyone or any other thoughts that people in

the last couple of minutes?

Cathy Cave: A couple of folks asked for copies of the PowerPoint.

Absolutely, materials will be made available for download.

Peggy Swarbrick: It looks like it's mostly people just giving fantastic ideas.

I mean, I'm seeing a lot of not necessarily questions but things that people are responding

to the questions we asked along the way that are wonderful strategies that people are using

for the sleep preparation, the sleep participation kind of activities are just wonderful.

Again, we have highlighted, this is such an important area for our like I said, as you

work, its part of one of our occupations.

Occupations we think about is work but sleep is an occupation that is such an important

one for all of those other areas in our life.

Again, it's going to help us so much if we could just kind of start to think about some

of these things and as we talked about many of these resources we have, I'm going to move

to that in a minute, but we have references at the end.

I thought they were there but we have some really good references you can go to as well

as the resources.

So do it for yourself.

You can use some of these diaries and exercises for yourself but then also get some feedback

for people to share, to process it with people, other people, whether it's a peer supporter,

an occupational therapist, a therapist, a family member, share it with people and again

they could also help us to empower us to make some of the changes we want and or maybe get

some of the resources we might need.

Sometimes it means just getting a resource or making that alteration off the blinds or

stuff.

These things do cost money and might cost having someone come and fix that for us.

But I think that once we get some of these things that we know for us just can really

go a long way to really feeling much better and having a better quality of life.

Someone also highlighted a big area working with moms, new moms and sleep is just such

interrupted area of their life, when people have a child, they have a wonderful new addition

to their life but then the sleep habits of the child become ... Or such that the mother,

the new mother and again that's definitely an area ... If someone ask for ideas, we don't

have one definitely for but a lot of times the respite for them is going to be critical

because sustained sleep interruption is going to be very challenging for a new mother and

you see a lot connections to postpartum depression and stuff.

So there's some interplays there that might want to work within ... Maybe for the person

who's asking the questions that they work with new moms not getting normal sleep, there's

a lot of good postpartum depression resources perhaps in your local community that maybe

you could access.

I know in New Jersey we have quite a bit and it's a big area to help train, educate mothers

and train them.

So definitely in the area.

But yeah, we really want to thank everyone for coming on the webinar.

Before we end, I just want to see if Cathy or Josh want to say something before we close?

Cathy Cave: Thanks.

So just quickly, there is a comment about pain.

We talked a little bit about that in our last webinar.

But wanted to just touch base around acupuncture as something that help with both pain management

and with getting better sleep.

So just to offer that.

Someone had mentioned it in the chat box as a struggle that can sometimes challenge sleep.

Thank you all very much for your comments and thoughts.

Josh, anything for you?

Joshua Calarino: Yeah, well, one thing earlier I was talking about how that someone likes

to have the TV on and how it could also be distracting at the same time.

So one suggestion that we've talked about earlier that might help supplement that without

having the added distraction is maybe to do a podcast, right, so you still have the voice

but you don't have the blue light and all of that disrupting the circadian rhythm.

Also on top of that, someone had mentioned how they have issues staying asleep.

One of my, for a while, a sleep ritual of mine was ... My preparation for sleep started

essentially as soon as I'd wake.

I would wake up and I would do work on the morning, very deep ones so that by the time

that had already rolled around to 10pm, I was pretty much physically drained and so

tired that my body would just fall asleep for the entire not as well.

Outside of that, thank you very much for having me.

I hope we were a great resource for some of you.

Peggy Swarbrick: Great.

Thanks everyone.

We want to encourage you to complete the survey upon exiting the webinar.

We always use the feedback to improve the things that we're offering.

So we really appreciate any feedback and we definitely want to encourage everybody to

keep thinking about these ideas and writing them down; using the tools; and we hope everyone

has a really good night sleep tonight.
