Healthy Tip of the Week: Don’t Study in Your Bed!

Many experts argue that studying in bed can impact not only your ability to focus while doing work, but also your ability to fall asleep once you put that work away. Working or studying from your bed can be tempting since it is one of the most comfortable places in your room. However, all that comfort may distract you from your work. Similarly, when you put your head down at night after a full day of working in your bed, sometimes it is hard to decompress; once you start to establish your bed as a place to do work, your brain may struggle to shut off once you are done for the day. Bishops, when you are studying for your exams this semester, try sticking to your desk or head to Beeghly instead!
