Sleep
Tips for better sleep:
Include physical activity into your day - Physical activity is a great way to wake your body up before heading to school or work! This will help you avoid taking long naps throughout the day
Avoid large consumptions of caffeine right before bed - Drinking coffee or soda at night can simulate the brain for hours making it harder to fall asleep.
Try to manage or address stress before bed - Stress is one of the many reasons you may not be able to fall asleep. Instead, try to address your stress before heading to bed!
Avoid eating heavy meals before bed - Eating heavy meals can cause poor sleep during the night
Avoid taking long naps during the day - Instead, try take 20-30 minutes naps. Taking shorter naps is a great alternative because it helps you feel refreshed without causing you trouble getting to bed at night.
