Sleep Hygiene

Wellbeing

To establish a high-quality sleep routine.

• Stick to a regular sleep schedule including weekends. 
• Aim to get 7-9 hours of sleep each night. 
• Consider room temperature, lighting, and noise levels. 
• Follow a structured bedtime routine. 
• Consider if a roommate will positively or negatively impact your sleep. 
• Regular physical activity can help you sleep better and wake up easier.  
• Minimize caffeine and avoid consumption within six hours of bedtime. 
• The blue light from screens can make it harder to fall asleep, so unplug your devices for about an hour before bedtime.   
• Stress can make it harder to sleep, so find ways to manage it.  

Develop and implement a good sleep hygiene routine before you start college.
