Everyone knows what it feels like to try to get through the day if you haven’t had enough sleep. For students, that can mean having trouble learning because of difficulty concentrating, solving problems, or remembering. Sleep is a time for your brain to repair cells and build new pathways, which is critical for learning.

- how to get enough sleep
Sleep, along with nutrition, stress management, exercise, and positive social connections, are all connected to positive mental health.
