Now is a great time to start developing healthy sleep habits.  Aim to get 7 to 9 hours on most nights. Having a consistent sleep pattern (like going to sleep and waking up at the same time and getting the same amount of sleep nightly) will help you stay focused and will help ensure that you are functioning at your best.

Check out the Division of Sleep Medicine website from the Harvard School of Medicine for more great information about why sleep is so important and the connection between sleep, memory and learning.
