When deadlines are fast-approaching, exams are right around the corner, or Netflix drops a new season of an anticipated show, sleep is the first thing we sacrifice. Whether you’re a student burning the midnight oil or a teacher pushing through grading marathons, sleep often becomes the first to go. But the thing is, if you were training for a marathon, you’d never skip recovery days. If you hit the gym, you’d know that rest is part of muscle growth.

Summer isn’t just for vacations and relaxation, it’s also the perfect time for schools to get a head start on the next academic year. While students daydream about beach trips and late mornings, administrators are already deep into planning mode. The good news?
