Are They Getting Enough Rest?

Welcome to day 5 of the Embracing Caregivers Challenge!

Being constantly exhausted is not good for the body and mind. Everyone needs a break. Getting plenty of rest is not only crucial for preventing caregiver burnout, it’s also essential for fixing it.


As you talk with the caregiver and get a sense of their well-being, offer tips to help them get the rest they need. Remind them that they:
  • Don’t need to ask their loved one for permission to take a break
  • May feel guilty for taking a break, but that’s OK — it just means they care
  • Should still strive for the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep each night
  • Will need more sleep at first if they’re already sleep deprived
  • Should never be afraid or too proud to ask for help, so they can rest

Use these resources to share tips for getting quality sleep: Let us know how your conversation goes in the challenge updates section here, our private Facebook group, or on Twitter, or Instagram
