6 WAYS TO RELIEVE STUDENT STRESS DURING FINALS WEEK
- Get a good night's sleep! It is important to get 8 - 10 hours of sleep in order to be rested and energized while studying and taking tests.
- Take breaks! Whether it is going for a quick run, grabbing a snack, or watching an episode of a favorite show, study breaks are important for good mental health.
- Make a playlist of music to get in the zone. (Classical music has been shown to help students retain information whole studying.)
- Ask for help! Don't be afraid to reach out to peers or teachers if your child is struggling.
- Eat balanced meals. Not being hungry will help with focus. Stick to water and herbal tea so sleeping will not be an issue.
- Plan something fun after the last final; anything from going to see a movie to treating yourself to ice cream. Having something to look forward to is a great motivator!
