How you feel physically has a
big influence on your ability to learn. Plan to take care of yourself in these
three ways:
- Sleep: The best way to get a good night’s sleep is to go to
bed and get up at about the same time every day. Naps are fine, but a nap
is about 20–30 minutes. If you get into your pajamas and under the covers,
you have gone back to bed! Too much sleep during the day can disrupt your
sleep at night and take away from valuable study time.
- Exercise: Exercise has multiple
benefits—it helps your brain function well, gives you energy, helps keep
your weight under control, and helps you fight off germs. Most schools
have beautiful fitness centers and organized classes—take advantage of
what they have to offer.
- Good nutrition: On many college dining plans you can eat
whatever and whenever you want, but there is no one to remind you to plan
or eat balanced meals. Remember to eat from a variety of groups and
include fresh fruit and vegetables. Don’t go crazy with sugary desserts
and fried food.
The better you physically feel, the better you will be able
to concentrate and learn.
