Are you getting enough sleep to perform at your best?
​ 
ESTABLISH SLEEP HYGIENE
"Dancers are artistic athletes and require more sleep than non-athletes, particularly during adolescence. An athlete’s sleep needs change over the course of a lifetime. Inadequate sleep and sleep disorders have been linked to the following:
  • changes in mood, concentration, and motivation;
  • reduced endurance and recovery;
  • increased risk of poor performance and injury.
Sufficient quality sleep is necessary to stay motivated, perform optimally, and to avoid fatigue-related injuries." (Andrea Downie, 2015)
