Too many C’s on that report card. Let’s talk about how to get a good night’s sleep so your college kid gets those C’s back up to A’s. Sleep helps our memory. Sleep helps us learn in every aspect. Too many times, college kids end up kind of sleeping on anything. So really look at optimizing the sleep surface. That’s a huge component of a good night’s sleep.
College kids have very limited control over their sleeping environment. Parties down the hallway, noise. They’re all kinds of things. So do as much as you can on an individual level in terms of earplugs, white noise, eye masks, anything you can do to limit the light and noise will help you get a good night’s sleep.
