]]>Your pillow will often play a crucial role in the quality of your sleep, whether you’re in college or not, so make sure to get a comfy, supportive pillow and consider investing in a model filled with memory foam.
Blackout curtains can help you block out the light coming from the outside, but using privacy curtains is also an option if your dormmate objects to blackout curtains.
Eye masks can be as effective in blocking the outside light as blackout curtains and you should have one at hand at all times during your college years.
Even if you set quiet hours with your roommate, you’ll be dealing with noise from time to time, so a pair of earplugs always comes in handy.

]]>Just because you’re no longer a child doesn’t mean that you’re too old for bedtime. In fact, having a set bedtime can help you not only get enough sleep but also ensure that you have a guideline for planning the rest of your schedule.
Ultimately, your bedtime doesn’t have to be early. If you prefer studying late in the day and attending parties, then do that. If you’re an early bird, then sleep earlier so you can wake up sooner. Either way, set your sleep schedule according to your preferred lifestyle.
If there’s one thing that students often look forward to, it’s college parties. While you may want to let loose, think before you drink, as too much alcohol can tire you out and make your sleep less restful. If you’re going to party hard, make sure you don’t have important work to do in the morning.

]]>While studying is important, it’s also necessary to do some things throughout the day to make yourself feel good. Think about taking a few minutes of your day to read a book you enjoy, listen to some music, or even do a refreshing skincare routine.
Although it’s crucial to do your studies adequately, design a study schedule that suits you. If you work better in the evening than in the morning or if you prefer working in short bursts rather than hours on end, structure your schedule around your preferences.
Sometimes, if you eat too much before bedtime, you can feel bloated, and going to bed with a full stomach is uncomfortable. Make sure that you eat dinner a few hours before bedtime to give yourself time to digest. Still, some light snacks, such as crackers and yoghurt, are fine to eat before you go to sleep.

]]>Some people find white noise incredibly soothing, and it can help to drown out any other sounds coming from your house or flat at night. There are several apps or playlists available which will fade out after a few hours, or simply press play on some continuous white noise and enjoy it for the rest of the night. Just remember, some people can find this type of noise annoying, so make sure your volume is at a sensible level!
If the noises are really getting to you, try some foam style ear plugs to blot out the noise. Gently roll each ear plug between your fingers before inserting into your ear. Do be aware that wearing these every night can lead to irritation inside your ear, and some people find them so uncomfortable they can’t keep them in the entire night.
If you’ve tried white noise and ear plugs and your sleep is still suffering, you’re going to have to face facts and try and talk to your housemates or neighbors. As ever with these kinds of conversations, don’t go in aggressively, simply explain factually what it is that’s keeping you awake at night and see if you can come to an agreement around noise levels after a certain time. If the noise-maker really isn’t budging, it may be time to seek external help, such as from the pastoral leads in your dorm or building.

]]>Having a clear timetable to work towards will help you structure your time and make you feel productive. This in turn should reduce stress, because whenever the panic about an impending exam rises, you can remind yourself that you’ve got your study timetable under control. Use the timetable to help you set a reasonable time to go to bed and get up each morning. Following a pattern will help you establish healthy sleep habits and make you feel more rested.
When you’ve got exams, it’s tempting to feel that all your time should be spent revising. However you need to give your brain a chance to relax and unwind, so spend half an hour to an hour at the end of each day doing what you really love. Whether it’s a craft such as sewing, baking or just singing out loud to your favorite songs, combine with your study time with downtime for the best results.
One of the most common pieces of advice about sleeping is repeated so much because it’s true – physical activity will help your body prepare for sleep and regulate your circadian rhythms. Whether it’s some calming yoga, a fast-paced run, or a gym session, make time in your day for exercise.
