A good night’s sleep can slip down your priority list when student life becomes a whirlwind of deadlines, late-night study sessions, and social events.
Here at Vita Student, we believe that a good night’s sleep is the key to academic success and overall well-being at university.
Believe it or not, finding a balance between having fun and getting that all-important rest is possible. So, with that in mind, let’s explore why catching those Zzzs is crucial for students and how we can help!
GET A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP AT VITA
Everything seems easier after a good night’s sleep, right?
That’s because being well-rested isn’t just about feeling awake—it’s about giving your brain the time it needs to recharge. Sleep helps improve memory, boosts concentration, and even enhances creativity.
You can tackle your studies with more focus and less stress when you’re well-rested. Plus, you’ll find staying motivated and having a positive outlook easier.
Getting enough sleep is like giving your brain a superpower, making you a more successful student!
But don’t just take our word for it…
According to the Centre For Educational Neuroscience, “Brain imaging has shown that after chronic sleep deprivation in adolescents, brain areas that actively maintain attention have to work much harder to sustain performance during a memory task.”
GETTING A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP IN STUDENT ACCOMMODATION
If you’re living away from home at university, being mindful of your sleep is important.
To tackle this, a good evening routine is particularly important anytime you need to be focused and at your best, such as during exam season or when an important sports or society commitment is coming up.
We get it, though—if you enjoy a night out maybe once or twice, or even a few times a week, you won’t be able to commit to a regular routine every night, but doing your best to stick to a good sleep routine during busy periods will work wonders.
Here’s how to do it…
First, set a regular sleep schedule—consistency is key, even on weekends.
Create a relaxing bedtime routine, whether reading a book, listening to calming music like LowFi beats, or practising some light stretching.
Keep your room cool, dark, and quiet—earplugs and a sleep mask can be lifesavers!
Limit caffeine and screen time before bed. Swap that late-night coffee or energy drink for herbal tea, and turn off those devices an hour or so before you hit the hay.
Lastly, make your bed a comfy haven with cosy sheets and pillows. Before you know it, you’ll be snoozing soundly and waking up ready to conquer the day!
We have previously discussed making sleep your superpower and created a neat little acronym, ‘D.R.E.A.M.S.,’ to keep in the back of your mind when focusing on improving your sleep at university. If you’ve found this guide interesting so far, we recommend checking that out, as it contains even more hints and tips for getting a good night’s sleep at uni.
SLEEP & WELL-BEING AT VITA STUDENT
As a prospective student, getting a good night’s sleep in student accommodation might feel like it’s going to be tricky, especially if you are going to be sharing a flat with other people, worrying about F.O.M.O., or feeling a bit homesick (which is totally normal, by the way!).
Perhaps you lived in university halls in your first year, and someone else’s noise kept you awake all night, making you feel extra grumpy and irritable the next morning.
If this sounds like you, one of the most significant benefits of choosing Vita Student Accommodation is that you won’t have to worry about sharing your living space with multiple other people.
That’s right, you won’t be disturbed by other people’s noise in the same way you would be in standard student accommodation.
Our Vita Student residences are available as studio apartments, meaning you have your own personal space to eat, sleep, and chill out.
Each studio is equipped with a comfortable bed, a study area, a kitchenette, and a private bathroom.
We also provide high-speed internet, a communal lounge where you can meet new people, and a convenient laundry room.
We also offer a range of different bed sizes, a double bed as standard and, in some cities, a king-size bed, so you have room to spread out and are not confined to a single bed, or even a quarter single bed or as is the case in some university-provided accommodation!
SLEEP WELL KNOWING YOU’RE SAFE
Knowing you’re safe and secure is also a massive contributing factor in getting a good night’s rest.
Only Vita Student residents have key-fob access to every building and room, ensuring your safety. Our buildings are well-lit and equipped with round-the-clock CCTV cameras for added peace of mind.
We also have a dedicated Residence Team on-site 24/7, ready to assist with any concerns or even just for a friendly chat.
