 Sleep is essential for our mental and physical health, but many college students do not get enough sleep or frequently don’t get a restful night of sleep. According to the National Sleep Foundation, there are a variety of ways to improve your nightly sleep quality by making adjustments during the day.  Here are a few examples of what is known as pro-sleep habits: 

• Expose yourself to light during the day to help regulate your internal clock. Getting a dose of sun early in the day can help regulate your circadian rhythm.  
• Get up and move your body in the morning to help regulate energy use and body temperature.  
• Limit caffeine intake after 2:00 p.m.
