Non-Sleeping Fun!

It's winter break, and for most of my students (namely the teens) have a million parties/sleepovers and the same goes for spring break. It doesn't mean you can't party and have a good time, but when you lose sleep...it just reaps havok on your poor little voice, not giving it ample time to rest and repair. You HAVE to sleep or otherwise, you'll be out of a voice!

WATER

I know I way over emphasize this point, but it's winter and I don't know about you but my skin is all itchy and my throat is dry. yuck. SO! What's that mean?! You better be picking up your water intake. With the heater on high, it drys out the room. If you're not drinking extra water, try a humidifier. That will moisten up the air and your throat too. If you have access to a steam room, that's good too! You can make your own steam room in your bathroom with putting a towel by the crack in the door and running the shower just enough to create steam. It's like a little spa in your house! If you have steam heat...put a pan of water on the radiator to moisten the air.

Just FYI I hate the word moist, but I feel like it's necessary here.

Anyways, Happy Freakin' Winter and drink your water or I'll haunt your dreams!
