Supporting a Year 12 (or any exam) student? 📚
Small habits make a big difference ✔️
Help them protect sleep 😴, keep eating regularly 🍽️, manage stress, and build in short recovery breaks.
These basics sustain focus and mood through intense weeks! 🧠
Sleep
Help them wind down and get ready for bed. Let the mind unwind 🧠, update the to‑do list for tomorrow ✅, recognise the feelings of fatigue and go to sleep rather than doom scroll.
Try to get 8 hrs rest ⏰
A sleep‑in is ok and sometimes needed 😌💤
Magnesium
This helpful mineral is used in 1000s of interactions in the body ⚙️🧬. We know it for sleep and cramps 😴🦵, BUT it can also help our body cope with stressful periods 🌪️🛡️
During exams, adequate magnesium supports energy production and a calmer nervous system ✅🔬
Fuel your brain
Keep putting the food in front of them 🍽️🧠
A focused student will lock in and forget to keep eating 📚
Put their favourite snacks within reach to help sustain their efforts 🍎🥜💪
Heat bag
Feeling tight after hours of studying? Try a heat bag across your neck and upper shoulders for 10–15 minutes to help you relax and unwind between study blocks or before bed. 📚🛌
Pair it with some slow, relaxed breathing to help your body switch off. 🌬️😌
✨ Tip: Keep the heat comfortably warm, not hot, and use a cover between your skin and the heat bag.
Treatment
Muscles and joints can become stiff and tight 🦴🔩
The extra time sitting, a nervous system under strain and the ongoing nature of the exam period 🪑🧠⚡
Sometimes stretching can feel too hard or not relieve enough. Treatment gives you the chance to rest as we iron out the kinks for you 🛠️😌

Nature breaks
Find a spot in nature close to home that’s easy to access 🌳🏡.
So when it’s feeling too much, take a 10–20 min nature break ⏱️🌿
Play on the swing at the park, lie in the sun and watch the clouds 🌞☁️
Make it simple and let your mind reset 🧠🔄✨
