Addressing the Twin Crises in Education

Today's educators face unprecedented challenges: teacher burnout at record levels and students struggling with focus, behavior, and basic skills. Rather than treating these as separate issues, Rest-Ed recognizes them as interconnected challenges with a common solution.

​

Our School District Wellness Partnership Program (Rest-Ed) integrates research-backed rest practices into the educational ecosystem, supporting both teachers and students through a holistic approach to wellness.

The Science of Rest in Education

  • Improves student focus and information retention

  • Reduces behavioral incidents in PreK-5 classrooms

  • Increases teacher job satisfaction and retention

  • Enhances social-emotional learning outcomes

  • Supports the development of critical fine motor skills

Our Why

At The Nap Time Show, we understand the challenges facing today’s educators and students. That’s why we’ve created the Rest-Ed Program, a comprehensive, evidence-based wellness solution that targets the root causes of academic and behavioral struggles.

 

As featured on PBS Michigan Learning Channel and implemented in Lansing School District classrooms, our approach transforms how schools think about rest—not as time away from learning, but as an essential component of educational success.

Why Rest-Ed Works

Research shows that well-rested children are:

  • 87% more likely to meet grade-level reading standards

  • 76% more successful in peer-to-peer interactions

  • 62% more capable in fine motor skill development

  • 58% less likely to exhibit disruptive behaviors
