Rest for success: The science behind sleep and why students need it
Towards the end of my freshman year, after a week straight of surviving on less than five hours of sleep each night, I found myself blankly staring at my computer in my common room, trying to complete a simple assignment that should have taken 30 minutes.
This night became my breaking point. I quickly realized that sleep was much more important than I ever recognized.

I wish I knew then what I know now: making sleep a priority isn’t just good for your health, it actually improves your grades.
