Support available for students to help improve sleep
Updated on: 13 June 2024
Learn why good sleep is important for your health and studies and what help is available.
Sleep is vital for your health and wellbeing. It also affects how well you study and learn.
Lack of deep sleep makes it difficult to concentrate and harder to remember what you’ve learned.
It can be challenging to maintain a pattern of healthy sleep at university. Academic and social responsibilities can mean we sacrifice sleep.
It can be frustrating if you cannot sleep, which in turn can make it more difficult to sleep.
Creating a bedtime routine is one way to manage sleeping problems.
