SLEEP
ABOUT SLEEP
Sleep restores us physically, mentally and emotionally. College students who do not achieve regular sleep patterns are more likely to experience motor skill and physical performance deficits; have more difficulty fighting off illnesses; experience lapses of concentration, memory and judgment; and are at greater risk of experiencing anxiety and depression. Most people need to sleep about 8 hours each night. This is especially true for college students, since the deep sleep that occurs early in the night and the dream sleep that occurs later in the night are both required to learn. However, the necessary amount of sleep varies from individual to individual. This is one case where quality is more important than quantity - if you feel alert and rested during the day, you’ve probably gotten enough sleep.
