  1. This article is great for not only the students, but myself as well. Good sleep is essential so that you can be productive the next day. I have so many students that complain that they are tired due to stress or being up half the night on their cell phones, and when they are doing work in class it is not usually their best work. I usually get to bed early, but some times find myself not falling asleep right away because I have things on my mind. I will definitely try some strategies and see how it goes.

  2. Another thing about this article that I like is the push to be a little more healthy, especially late at night. There are so many reasons why students may not perform their very best, and diet is one of them.

  3. Great article Isabella! You did a great job in explaining different ways that can help you fall asleep faster. I agree with the survey taker in that a clean room helps me fall asleep better. I think it is so interesting that eating red meat before bed can cause more issues. So interesting!

  4. This is so helpful! I loved the part about reading before bed but making sure it's something not interesting! That's important, because sometimes if I'm reading something interesting 5 hours will go by and I'm still reading! Thanks for these helpful hints!

  5. That is an interesting theory that sleep is better achieved in a clean room. Makes you ponder how to arrange a bedroom in terms of organization, lighting, sounds, etc, to promote more sound sleep.

  6. I have read that the light from your phone and computer cause insomnia as well. Our doctor recommends that all electronics be turned off at least 30 minutes before trying to sleep.

  7. Sofia, this is an excellent and useful infographic! There is a lot of useful and well researched information presented here that is useful not only for students, but also for instructors. As someone who has struggled for years with sleeping, I learned a couple of things from this article I did not know. For example, that it is better to eat carbs rather than red meats, as I would have thought both would not be beneficial before bed. I also learned that a light workout would also help me have a better night's sleep. Thank you for presenting this information!

  8. Some great advice for students. Sleep is incredibly important. I know for me personally, I just can't function right if I don't get a solid 8 hours of sleep. Creating healthy routines such as though suggested in the articles is a recipe for success in getting a great nights rest. One of the things that I would definitely add to this list is to not play video games within two hours of bed time and reduce all the ambient light in the bed room.

  9. These are such great tips. A lot of students don't think about how their sleep is affecting their routine during the day. Especially with cellphones, it is difficult to log off and have some rest.

  11. This article has beautiful graphics! I've had trouble with sleep, especially in the past few months because of a lot of senior-year stress. I'll try to put some of these tips to use so I can get the most amount of rest I can.

  13. Isabella, it is very nice article in terms of telling teenagers how vital it is that they need to sleep enough. Do we recognize how much difference it makes for all people? It is tremendously important for teenagers who have so many emotional and mood issues with their hormones changing!! Healthy sleep patterns, eating habits, and exercise are a pivotal part of human wellness! Therefore, they are vital for learning. Please keep going with healthy discipline issues even if it might be not cool for some. Be strong and courageous! Way to go, Isabella!

  14. Great article Isabella, I enjoyed reading this. I had always heard that working out before bed had kept you awake longer but good to know that it is actually the opposite. I also found the tips on foods to be helpful as well. I was unaware that meats had that kind of effect on our bodies before sleep. Very helpful, thank you!

  15. This article is a great reminder, not just for students, but for teachers as well. It may often doesn't feel like there are enough hours in the day in our current fast-paced lives, so it can be way too easy to fall into the trap of staying up late to get things done. However, that can end up backfiring, especially if it's a common event, and can affect one's day-to-day performance. I'd like to try reading before bed, just have to make sure it's not too riveting of a read!

  16. This is a great article!!! I think that everyone, not just students, can get a lot from it. I have a lot of students who are so sleepy during the school day and it is because they don't sleep well at night. I also have a lot of trouble falling asleep at night and my doctor told me no caffeine after 2:00 in the afternoon. Also, be careful what you are using to read. I read books using a Kindle and the back-lighting hurts your chances of going to sleep.

  17. Students and teachers can learn much from this post. Based on my experiences over the years, I would have to agree with all of the tips from the post. I sleep better with a fan or something to keep me cool, a good afternoon workout helps me relax, I read the news on my phone while I am laying in bed, and most importantly for me, I can tell a huge difference in how I sleep based on what foods I have put in my body.

  18. Sleep is one of the most important factors in predicting how my day will go. Unfortunately I violate a few of these rules, but I have learned to adapt to some of my shortfalls, and adjust accordingly. As a current TNT, I also appreciate the effort in creating the Piktochart. Great job!

  19. Very nice infographic - I love Piktochart. You have made great points for students and adults alike. We are a society of sleep-deprived people! Not only is the information very useful, you have positioned the graphics and text in a way to draw the reader into the information and move through to the end. Thanks for sharing.

  20. This is a fun post to read because most people deal with the issue of sleep. I like to pride myself on being able to function on averaging only 5 hrs of sleep each night. I am a night owl that gets great ideas late into the evening and wants to work on these projects. However, the consequences of lack of sleep are evident and these tips are helpful to everyone. I do like that it says to read an "uninteresting" book. Sometimes I feel bad saying that because we want all books to be interesting but I think it's safe to say that they all aren't and we all need to designate ourselves a sleep book that is going to just help us fall asleep.

  21. Oh wow! Red meat might cause nightmares? I had no idea. Thank you. I am also surprised about refined carbs causing lower serotonin levels. Whole grains for me! Thank you for this helpful information!

  22. Very informative graphics and information! Coming from someone who needs an adequate amount of sleep, but often functions on much less. Myself along with the rest of our society, including our students, are so sleep deprived. I had no clue so many of the triggers that could cause nightmares and disruption in sleep. Thanks for sharing!

  23. The way the information is presented is very well done due to the fact that it is used within an interesting poster-visual! I need to constantly remind myself to get good sleep, so looking at this made me remember the facts a lot easier!

  24. After reading this article, I have learned a good amount of different tips that can help me sleep better. I will most definitely be trying out a couple of these tips, like working out, and/or drinking warm milk before bed. I am appreciative of this article.

  25. Reading this article had helped me to gain tips for restless nights. I've learned that certain things I eat will only interrupt my sleeping even more. I learned that by certain things I already do I was already implementing most of these tips into my night time routine.

  26. What a great article that is applicable to EVERYONE - students and teachers alike! The organization of your tips and tricks for a good night sleep was great. I love the tips for what to eat if you choose to have a snack. Great research and delivery!
