Need to be the Best You Can Be? Get More Sleep!

By N. Susan Emeagwali, Techniques: Connecting Education &Careers, Feb2008, Vol. 83 Issue 2, p61.

The semester is nearing to a close but what that entails includes final exams, end-of-term projects, presentations, and maybe summer job searching. With all of this excitement, you’re going to need to be able to cope. This article from Connecting Education & Careers talks about the importance of sleep.

Revealed here are the results of a 2002 study by the National Sleep Foundation regarding the prevalence of sleeping problems, and the reported effects on activities that is caused by sleep deprivation. Burning the midnight oil may seem like a way to get in a few extra hours. However, it is important to remember that sleep deficit can increase your susceptibility to health problems ranging from depression to diabetes to heart disease.

While this article acknowledges bona fide sleep disorders that require a doctor’s attention, it also lists 10 things that you can do to help with regular cases of sleeplessness. Check these out if you’re interested in the rewards to health, productivity and wellbeing that come with getting more sleep.

Happy studying and sweet dreams!
