Sleep Tips for College Students
All college students try to have a structured and routinely sleeping schedule. Especially with zoom classes, it is hard to maintain that schedule. Staying up to finish a project at 3 am or waking up early for a 7 am class happens. However, this disrupts your sleeping cycle. Here are a few key pointers that help improve sleep!
Less caffeine
Being overly caffeinated will give you that jittery and anxious feeling. This will affect your sleeping schedule since the body is too fueled on caffeine it cannot relax and fall to sleep. This is why each person should drink a moderate amount of caffeine that they can handle.
Do not study or do work on your bed
The bed is a sacred place. This should only be meant for sleeping. If you do work on your bed it will ruin the image that most people tend to associate with their beds which is comfort. Studying can hinder the way our mind is structured to think about beds which will hinder our sleep.
Be as active as you can in the morning
By keeping yourself productive and active at the beginning of the day will have profound effects later at night. By tiring your body out, you will have a more restful sleep at night.
Try to aim for 8-9 hours of sleep
Maintaining a sufficient amount of sleep has so many benefits. It can help prevent diseases, balance hormones and blood sugar levels, increase productivity, boost immunity, and lower the risk of obesity.
Avoid any light (especially blue light) one hour before bed.
It is essential to avoid blue light from any electronic devices like laptops, phones, tv, and tablets. It prevents you from sleeping and blocks out the hormone melatonin that makes you sleepy.
