A Day in the Life of your “Occupations” — Bedtime Routines

Contrary to the traditional understanding of the word, occupational therapists define “occupation” differently. For OTs, the word “occupation” does not only include “paid” work, employment, or jobs. Rather, we define it as the way people “occupy” their time and as such it actually includes all roles involved in living (therapy for living, who knew?). So, for Occupational Therapy month, we will explore “A Day in the Life of Your Occupations” complete from morning to night, highlighting common important occupations and how OT’s can help when things breakdown along the continuum that is living.

This week we discuss the important occupations that arise before bed.  If you missed our “Rise and Shine,” “9 to 5 “Workday,” and/or “Eventful Evening” posts, we encourage you to view them here.
