Health and Fitness Tip of the week: Sleep!

Sleep… Food for your brain

Did you know college students are one of the most sleep-deprived populations?

Whilst you are asleep your body is repairing, recovering, growing and producing vital hormones. Insufficient sleep can affect your ability to concentrate, make decisions, and engage fully in college and social activities. You may even forget important information like names, numbers and homework! The National Sleep Foundation recommends that 14-17year olds need between 8-10hours sleep per night, whilst those between the age of 18 and 65 require 7-9hours per night. You are however unique and you may require more or less than this.
