And yet, a <a href=\"https:\/\/timelycare.com\/mental-health-supreme-court-rulings-among-college-students-top-stressors\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\">TimelyCare survey<\/a> found more than half of students reported getting less than six hours of sleep per night, falling short of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thensf.org\/sleep-awareness-week\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener\">National Sleep Foundation\u2019s recommended 7 to 9 hours<\/a>.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Many college students pull all-nighters, studying through the night to prepare for an exam, but this type of habit can lead to sleep deprivation and insomnia. Depriving your body of sleep can lower cognitive function, academic performance, and mental health. If you have trouble sleeping at night, try techniques such as avoiding excess caffeine, turning down the lights, or putting away technology at least one hour before bed.<\/p><h5 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-focus-on-health-and-nutrition\"><\/span>2.

Just as our bodies need nourishment to thrive, our minds also require proper fuel to function optimally. Our diets not only impact our physical well-being but also play a significant role in our mental health. From combating stress and anxiety to boosting mood and cognitive function, nourishing our bodies properly can become a cornerstone for cultivating inner balance, resilience and emotional vitality.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">For students navigating newfound independence, pairing the freedom to choose what and when to eat with academic stress, they are more likely to cope by overeating or undereating. Developing good habits like eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep can help manage stress and prevent dramatic weight loss or weight gain.<\/p><h5 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-be-active\"><\/span>3.

Exercise is also effective in reducing fatigue, improving mental clarity, and enhancing cognitive function. After physical activity, the brain produces feel-good neurotransmitters called endorphins that act as natural painkillers. Relaxation techniques such as meditation, acupuncture, massage therapy, and deep breathing can also produce endorphins.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">If you\u2019re having trouble getting motivated to be active, try inviting a friend, changing up your routine, or exercising in short-time intervals. Adding just 15 minutes of physical activity to your daily routine can help your physical and mental health.<\/p><h5 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-have-a-stress-outlet\"><\/span>4.

Personal connections provide stress-relief hormones that counteract the body\u2019s fight or flight response. Surrounding yourself with people that you trust can also help you feel safe and calm.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The Mayo Clinic says that \u201csocial isolation and loneliness are associated with a greater risk of poor mental health and poor cardiovascular health, as well as other health problems.\u201d College is a great time to make new friends. Joining a club or organization, talking to classmates, volunteering, or being on an intramural sports team can help create connections on and off-campus.<\/p><h5 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-practice-self-care\"><\/span>6.

Having a spa day, taking a bubble bath, meditating, or taking yourself on a date are just some of the ways you can practice relaxation.<\/p><h5 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7-manage-time-effectively\"><\/span>7.

But, not having organizational skills will only add more stress and pressure to your plate. Unorganized students typically have less academic success than organized students.<\/p><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Before assignments start piling up, it\u2019s crucial to find ways to stay organized. Calendars and planners are valuable organizational tools. Try to keep your living environment and workspace tidy and organized as well to reduce distraction and anxiety.<\/p><h5 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9-practice-positive-thinking\"><\/span>9. Practice positive thinking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5><p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Research has shown that there are numerous benefits to positive thinking when you\u2019re feeling stressed out. Positive thoughts can improve physical well-being and provide a clear mind. When you feel yourself thinking negatively, counteract these thoughts by giving yourself positive encouragement. Positive reinforcement during stressful times can lessen the chance of developing chronic stress.<\/p><h5 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10-try-mindfulness-exercises\"><\/span>10.

Mindfulness helps to drown out the background noise and increase awareness. Meditation is a great way to practice mindfulness, but you can also incorporate it into daily activities. This will not only improve memory and focus but is also a beneficial way to relieve stress.<\/p><h5 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11-start-journaling\"><\/span>11.
