English & Language Arts Teacher BlogThis blog is for secondary English, ELA, and language arts teachers filled with lesson plans, humor, product recommendations, teaching ideas, tips, and tricks and much more! Here’s to another great week! Helpful Stuff & Recommendations To be the very best teachers we can be we need to stay on top of our health, not just the physical but also the mental. Enter Verilux Happy Light! (Amazon affiliate link) I have this lamp resting on my bookshelf in my home office and I turn it on as soon as I wake up in the morning because experts recommend exposing your body (your eyes, your skin —everything) to unfiltered sunlight as soon as you can after waking up. Check out this article from Web MD stating the benefits of sunlight exposure such as vitamin D production, better sleep by regulating your internal clock (circadian rhythm), weight loss, better moods, eye health, and skin benefits! This is unrealistic for most teachers since most of us are up and on our way to work before the sun even comes up, this is a nice way to get the best of both worlds! Added benefit: you won’t be the weirdo on your campus walking around with your shirt off trying to get that necessary sunlight! This is the Verilux Happy Light I have in my home office. Try it out and let us know how it goes! Don’t forget to tag us in your posts on Instagram as @shining_scholar_education and Facebook as Shining Scholar Education!
