Are you a stressed-out student?
You can beat it with our FIVE-POINT ACTION PLAN！
Some people are OK with three or four hours of sleep a night, but most people aren't. You should try to sleep eight hours a night. If you can't, then take a nap in the afternoon. Sleeping too long isn't good, either. Don't stay in bed all day.
Students often put on weight because they eat a lot of junk food and eat late at night. Bad idea! You should try to eat your evening meal early and have healthy snacks, like fruit. You should also try to drink at least eight cups of water a day. Finally, don't skip breakfast. It's the most important meal of the day!
You don't have to eat a big breakfast, but you should eat something.
Sometimes you have to stop what you're doing. Take a break. Turn off the TV or computer, walk around the room, and breathe deeply. You should do this several times a day. And once a week, take a walk in a park or in the woods. Look at the trees and smell the flowers.
Walk as much as you can. Walking is the best way to stay in shape. Or get a bicycle, but remember that riding a bike can be dangerous. You should always wear a helmet and bright clothes. Never ride without them!
Do you have a gym nearby? You should use it. You don't have to exercise every day, but you should do some aerobic activity three to five times a week. Thirty minutes a day is enough. Remember: you can review for a test and jog on a treadmill at the same time.
