Rest Reset
Facilitator Script & Pacing Guide
24 Minute Session
Materials Needed
- • Sleep Audit Survey (Included)
- • Dream Routine Worksheet (Included)
Session Goal
Identify a major sleep barrier and build a concrete 4-step routine for optimal brain health.
1. The Sleep Audit (5m)
Step: Distribute the Sleep Audit Survey for the student to complete.
"Before we look at solutions, let's look at your data. Fill this out honestly—it's just a way for us to see where your energy levels are currently at."
2. The Data Deep Dive (7m)
Step: Review their 'Barrier Bracket'. Identify the one thing causing the most friction.
- "You rated your morning energy pretty low. What would a '10' morning feel like for you?"
- "You mentioned scrolling or gaming late. Is that something we can try to 'reset' starting tonight?"
3. Designing the Routine (8m)
Step: Switch to the Dream Routine Worksheet. Guide them through the 9-hour calculation.
Explain that 7th grade brains need 9 hours to recover and grow. Focus on the 30-minute 'ramp down' as a non-negotiable mental health break.
4. The Commitment (4m)
Step: Student signs the "Rest Pact" at the bottom of the worksheet.
"One night is a start, but three nights is a habit. Can you commit to trying this new routine for the next three school nights? We'll check in next week."
Facilitation Tip
If they feel they have 'no time' for 9 hours, focus on improving the quality of the sleep they do get by removing screens.
Extra Strategy
Suggest using a physical alarm clock and charging the phone in a different room to remove the temptation of late-night scrolling.
