How is your sleep schedule? Are you staying up until 4 in the morning on TikTok just to wake up for your 8am class? If so, you may not be functioning at your healthiest and most productive level. As a college student, you require seven to nine hours of sleep each night. If you feel sluggish each day, like you cannot function without a coffee by 3pm it may be because your body is not getting the rest it requires to recharge.
Sleep is also good for weight loss. When sleeping, you burn calories, the more you sleep, the more you burn. Be careful though, too much sleep can also be bad for your health. Just like your body requires sleep, it also requires action and movement.
Sleep is a key in being successful in the classroom. As sleep helps with studying, test taking, and homework. It allows for a higher level of focus as your brain is not, subconsciously, thinking about sleep. If you are properly rested you are less likely to doze off during an important midterm, exam, or even lecture. Caffeine can only do so much, so put down the coffee or energy drink of choice and get some good quality sleep!
