Make Sleep a Priority.
Prioritize Sleep.
Students need at least 8-10 hours of sleep per night. Quality sleep helps your mental, physical, social, and emotional development.
Set a Routine.
Go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day. Sleep routines reinforce your circadian rhythm and help strengthen and energize your body’s systems.
Limit Screentime.
At least 30 minutes before bed, turn off blue-light devices. Limiting screentime helps you fall asleep faster and improves the quality of your sleep.
Cutback on Caffeine.
Limit energy drinks, coffee, soda, and other caffeinated beverages.

Use reminders.
Give yourself periodic reminders, like alarms, to stay on track such as to complete a study guide in advance or schedule time to work on a project.
Prioritize.
Consider which assignments are the most urgent or are worth the most, as well as how much energy you have. Make a list and get to work.
