Sleeping in college is rife with challenges

While college is usually the time people discover the outer limits of what caffeine can do to keep a human going, it is always important to seek a healthy sleep schedule. College poses a whole new set of challenges to your sleep health- from an unfamiliar environment to an increase in stress; from noise at night to the effects of substances; you may find it more difficult to find the rest you need.

Tips to help you fall asleep and stay asleep in college

• Establish regularity with your sleep schedule: shoot to be in bed and waking at about the same time every day.
• Don’t exercise, eat a lot or drink alcohol before bed!
• Cut back on caffeine
• Control your sleep environment: keep your room dark and slightly cool
