University of Sheffield student responds to the battle of managing his academic studies, work, a social life, and keeping his health in check.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Research has shown students typically manage between 6 and 6.9 hours of sleep<\/a> on average at the best.<\/p>\n

A study by Hershner and Chervin<\/em> in 2014<\/a> revealed the consequences of sleep deprivation amongst university students result in lower marks, increased risk of academic failure, compromised learning, impaired mood, and an enhanced risk of road accidents.<\/p>\n

Nicola Mendini, engineering student at the University of Sheffield, said: ”My sleeping schedule gets so messed up when I come back to campus, because my responsibilities as an adult hit me all at once. 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.”<\/p>\n

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend 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

Nicola said: ”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

“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’t manage to do these things, but I try my best.”<\/p>\n
