How to sleep better as a student

Try to plan your sleep Schedule around your natural rhythm

Your body naturally follows a sleep schedule that can be hard to change, i.e. morning lack or night owls. Avoid early morning or late night classes. if you know you'll be too sleepy at those times.

2. Get on a sleep schedule

Your body clock likes consistency and learns to become tired and wake up at specific times based o habit, so you are making things harder for yourself if you keep switching up your schedule. Find a wake-up time and bedtime that is realistic for you and stick to it - even on weekends and holidays.

3. Reward yourself for getting up on time

Like any habit, it is easier to achieve if you reward yourself for keeping to it! A good reward could be a special breakfast or tasty drink to kickstart your day!

4. Be as active as you can in the morning

Getting moving as soon as possible! Don't lounge around your bed for more than 30-45 minutes after you wake up. Always try to go outside because getting natural light tells your body to wake up.

5. Aim to get to bed 8-9 hours before your wake-up time.

Most people from 18-25 year approximately needs 7-9 hours of sleep every night to function optimally so go to bed 8 or 9 hours before your wake-up time to try to reach this goal. But don't go to bed if you are not tired. If you do that, you may end up tossing and turning and associate your bed with stress.

6. Unplug an hour before bed.

Your body needs time to wind down, so spend an hour (or at least half an hour) before bed away from electronics. Do something that relaxes you, for example, reading or listening to Surahs.

7. Avoid Bright Light at night before bed.

Your brain takes light as a cue to be awake. Therefore, keep your exposure to light to a minimum around bedtime. Wear blue-light-blocking glasses if you need to look at a screen, and use lamps instead of overhead lights if you need light in your room.

8. Avoid taking long naps, especially early and late in the day.

If you are sleepy and wish to nap, remain awake and active for at least 3 hours after waking up before taking a nap, and don't nap less than six hours before bedtime. If you must nap, take a power nap in the afternoon.

9. Create a space that maximizes.

Try to have different zones for sleeping, studying, and relaxing so that your body associates your bed with sleeping so that you can have better quality sleep.

10. Use white noise.

White noise is the best way to go if you need sound to sleep. A simple way to get this is having a fan going in your room, even if you don't have it pointed at you. Never use a TV as background noise while sleeping because the changes in volume levels negatively affect sleep quality.
