Tips for Sleeping Well in Campus Residence: 

Students can have a hard time falling asleep when they live in residence because it can be a loud environment. 

Having a pair of earplugs can really help reduce the noise and help students focus on falling asleep. 

  • An eye mask can help make the sleep environment darker. 
  • It is important to put away any electronic devices before bed.
  • Quiet hours in residence start at 11 pm on school nights and 1 am on Fridays and Saturdays. If it is not quiet, you can call your CA. 
  • Use a white noise machine to drown out any noise or even a fan.
