Activity: 1. Awareness about World Sleep Day via Social Media and at our College:
Sleep Deprivation and Its Effects on Students
Sleep deprivation is a common problem among students, particularly during exam periods. Students often prioritize academic work and compromise their sleep time, leading to sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation has numerous negative effects on students’ physical and mental health, academic performance, and social life.
Sleep deprivation impairs cognitive function, including attention, concentration, and memory, which negatively impacts academic performance. Students who do not get enough sleep tend to have poor concentration and memory, leading to poor academic performance. Sleep deprivation can also lead to irritability, mood swings, and even depression, negatively affecting social relationships.
Furthermore, sleep deprivation increases the risk of accidents, particularly among students who drive or operate heavy machinery. Drowsiness caused by sleep deprivation impairs cognitive function, leading to poor judgment and reaction time, increasing the risk of accidents.
Tips for Students to Improve Sleep
Getting adequate sleep is critical for students’ academic success and overall well-being. Students must prioritize sleep and take steps to improve their sleep quality. Here are some tips to help students improve their sleep:
Stick to a sleep schedule: Students should aim to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day to regulate their sleep-wake cycle.
Create a sleep-friendly environment: Students should create a sleep-friendly environment by keeping their bedroom dark, quiet, and cool.
Avoid caffeine and nicotine: Students should avoid caffeine and nicotine, particularly before bedtime, as they can interfere with sleep.
Limit screen time: Students should limit their screen time before bedtime as exposure to screens can interfere with sleep.
Practice relaxation techniques: Students should practice relaxation techniques such as meditation and deep breathing to reduce stress and promote sleep.
Exercise regularly: Regular exercise can improve sleep quality, helping students to sleep better at night.
