This is particularly concerning because <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestcolleges.com\/research\/student-sleep-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">research demonstrates<\/a> that poor sleep hygiene and\/or a lack of sleep can negatively impact a student\u2019s academic performance and mental well-being. It might seem counterintuitive, but the choices students make to support their success can actively work against their ability to perform at their best.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To best support students as they navigate mid-term and final exams, UNE encourages students to not skip quality rest. We do this by hosting programs such as \u201cSnoozeapalooza\u201d and by sharing information with students during some of our many tabling events in the Ripich Commons. Much emphasis is placed on communicating the ways in which positive sleep habits aid in getting the restorative sleep that\u2019s so necessary for their overall health and well-being.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are some recommended sleep-related habits that may be useful for you to discuss with your student:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Establishing a calming bedtime routine&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Maintaining a regular awake-asleep schedule&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Not napping for too long during the day or too close to their regular bedtime&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Limiting the use of electronics before bed&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Aiming for 7-9 hours of sleep&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During exam periods, many UNE students will under-prioritize sleep in favor of all-night or prolonged study &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":100,"featured_media":607,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[26],"post_folder":[],"class_list":["post-559","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-october-2025-newsletter","tag-wellness"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
