Teach children to climb up on your lap or into the highchair instead of being lifted. Work with your doctor or nurse to help develop a personal wellness plan that includes strategies for getting adequate rest, maintaining or initiating a modified exercise routine, eating healthy, and eliminating or minimizing those factors that interfere with quality sleep. Strategies for Rest and Energy Restoration Take several short naps or breaks, rather than one, long rest period. Plan your day so that you have time to rest. Take short walks or do some light exercise if possible.
Some people find that exercise decreases their fatigue.
Plan something to do each day, even if it is as little as getting dressed and walking outside to sit on the porch. Staying active during the day will also help encourage normal fatigue at night, making sleep easier. Try easier or shorter versions of the activities you enjoy. Schedule time to rest before an activity. Prioritize the activities that are most enjoyable or most necessary and plan accordingly.
