Sleep. Get a lot of it.

                Sleep is hard to come by, especially to a busy college student like me.  Many college students are completely deprived of sleep due to studying and/or partying. These people often fail to see the huge impact sleep can have on their health. Sleep increases your energy output the following day, and also serves to repair and recharge your muscles. Sleep even recharges your brain after long study sessions!

Here are a few ways to improving the quality of your slumber:

Avoid Eating Large Meals -

Snacks are okay, and can even cause you to fall asleep faster, but large meals can activate your digestive system and keep you awake.

Avoid Exercising Right Before Bedtime -

 Watch out for those late-night workout sessions. Although exercising during the day can cause you to flop on your bed and pass out, working out right before bed keeps you energetic and unable to fall asleep.

Relax -

Stress can be a huge factor in the type of sleep you get. Play some soft music before you go to bed. Read a book. Anything that takes your mind off of the daily grind can help you out right before you go to bed.

Avoid Caffeinated Beverages -

This one is pretty obvious. Caffeine keeps you awake and energetic. That's what it's made for, don't drink it right before going to bed.
