The months I spend at home mean full 8 hours of sleep per night, a proper dream coming true. This is why I like being home, probably the only reason.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snhu.edu\/about-us\/newsroom\/2018\/03\/how-much-sleep-do-college-students-need\">7-8 hours of sleep per night<\/a> and some basic activities to improve the sleeping pattern, including taking part in physical exercise, cleaning your room regularly and ensuring you take some time off to rest the mind.<\/p>\n<p>Nicola said: &#8221;What helps me the most during stressful months is having a precise routine during the day, forcing myself to get out of the flat, meditate when I wake up and just before I go to bed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I also believe reducing the use of social media is crucial. This helps me to release all the negative energies I accumulate during the day. When I have assignments due and a lot to study I can&#8217;t manage to do these things, but I try my best.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most people spend a third of their lives sleeping, but a student lifestyle creates a particular set of challenges due to busy schedules and the pressures they are under.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":36375,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11,18],"tags":[608,610,612,88],"class_list":["post-36270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-education","category-health","tag-deprive","tag-sleep","tag-study","tag-university"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
