National Sleep Awareness Week
March 5th through March11th is National Sleep Awareness Week
As you are well aware, sleep is an important element of your overall health and well-being. Most adults need 7-8 hours of sleep per night and many college students don’t even come close. A lack of sleep can lead to poor performance in classes and at work. Insufficient sleep can also affect your mood resulting in irritability and is linked to troubled relationships.
Here are a few things to try to improve your night’s sleep.
Try to stick with a sleep schedule where you go to sleep up and wake up at the same time each day.
Avoid caffeine and other stimulants, which can take up to 8 hours to fully wear off.
Try to relax and unwind before bed. Stress and anxiety are a major factor contributing to lack of sleep.
Try to identify a few different stress management techniques that help you such as reading, listening to music or meditating.
Good luck and sweet dreams.
