Introduction
Poor sleep quality is prevalent among college students, affecting their academic performance and daytime functioning. It's important to get 6 to 8 hours of sleep each night, and practice good sleep hygiene.
Here are some tips from the National Sleep Foundation for getting better sleep:
- Be consistent. Go to bed at the same time each night and get up at the same time each morning, including on the weekends.
- Make sure your bedroom is quiet, dark, relaxing, and at a comfortable temperature.
- Remove electronic devices, such as TVs, computers, and smart phones, from the bedroom.
- Avoid large meals, caffeine, and alcohol before bedtime.
- Get some exercise. Being physically active during the day can help you fall asleep more easily at night.
