3 Strategies for Better Sleep!

Most adults needs 7-9 hours of sleep each night, but many students aren't getting enough. Try some of these strategies for better, refreshing sleep! 1. Don't study or work in your bedroom, and es-tablish a relaxing nightly ritual (e.g. hot tea, reading). This way, your mind categorizes your room as a calm, relaxing space. 2. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, technology, food, and exercise a few hours before bedtime, so your body has time to wind down and get tired. 3. Be consistent in what time you go to bed and wake up, even on the weekends, so your body maintains a regular sleep cycle. Also, limit day-time naps to one hour and only take a nap more than six hours before your bedtime. Ultimately, your sleep will improve drastically if you create the right setting for it—so make sure you're giving your body enough time to recharge each night! Lauren Oliver

Welcome Back, Lancers! Hope you all enjoyed your winter break and are

well-rested. Your sleeping patterns may have been

disturbed from your regular “school/work” sleeping

patterns, but don’t worry! Here are some tips to help you

sleep better for a fresh new semester.

Academic Wellness:

Ah, it is a new year! Feels like a fresh new start

with new opportunities. It’s the time to make

changes in our lives and align our actions with our

goals (seriously this time!). After all, change is the

only way we grow! Let us level up, Lancers!

This way of thinking is greatly optimistic and

should not just be thought about every new year

and then forgotten. Instead, try practicing having

this same mindset daily! Remember that setting

specific and realistic goals, as well as keeping

yourself accountable and rewarding yourself along

the way are all successful ways to achieving your

goals!
