Recharge Your Body
One surefire way to fight your fatigue is to ban the snooze button. Challenge yourself to plug your phone or alarm in across the room from your bed in order to avoid hitting the snooze button for one week. Re-evaluate how it feels to wake up sans snooze, with a special focus on if it helps you feel more energized throughout the day. Ditch the caffeine and find alternative ways to boost your energy, like daily exercise or short naps (20-40 mins) before 3 pm.

Restore Your Mind
Did you know anxiety is the biggest predictor of poor sleep? Be proactive in reducing stress for a better night's rest. One technique many people find helpful is jotting down your thoughts or concerns on a bedside notepad or this Brain Dump worksheet. 其他证明 ways to reduce stress include deep breathing, mindful meditation, and visualization. Regular exercise and yoga are both shown to help with stress management as well. Try different things and see what works best for you, check out these Meditation 资源 开始吧.
计划好睡眠
College students typically need between 7-9 hours of sleep each night to feel their best. Think about how long you usually sleep when you don’t have to get up for anything, or what amount usually leaves you feeling awake and rested. Subtract that from the time you must wake up in the morning, and set a bedtime that allows you enough time to get ready for bed. Do this consistently for a week (weekends included) and evaluate how making time for sleep impacted your energy, 情绪, 的关系, and the rest of your week.
