Study Tip: consider waking up early

You should be getting eight to ten hours of sleep a night, but we all understand that sleeping that much isn’t always possible. When you need to sacrifice some sleep for work, consider waking up early instead of staying up late.

For example, imagine it’s midnight, and you’re tired. You normally wake up at seven, and you still have about two hours of work to do. Instead of staying up until two, consider going to bed right away and getting up at five. You get five hours of sleep either way. You have two hours to work either way. But if you go to bed and wake up earlier, you’re doing those two hours of work rested and refreshed instead of sleepy and worn out. You also have fewer distractions, since most of your friends are still asleep.


And remember, work and life-changing experiences are the only things worth losing sleep for. The games, social media, and art projects can wait.
