5.Get Plenty of Rest

Adequate sleep is critical for stress management and overall wellness, but it is something that many college students fail to obtain.

Strategies for Better Sleep:

The following strategies can help you get a better night's sleep:

Go to bed at the same time every night, and get up at the same time every morning.
Exercise daily, but not too close to bedtime.
Don't use tobacco
Don't drink alcohol after dinner.
Eat a light snack before bedtime.
Write out a list of worries or a to-do list for the following day; then allow your mind to tune out such worries and distractions.
Don't eat, read, study, or watch television in bed.
Relax before bedtime with a book, music, or some relaxation exercises; give yourself time to wind down from your day's activities.
If you don't fall asleep in 15-20 minutes, get out of bed and do something monotonous until you feel sleepy. Do the same if you wake up and can't fall asleep again.
