GET ENOUGH SLEEP

Make time for exercise or physical activities each day, like going for a walk, playing a sport, or doing yoga. Staying active helps refresh your mind and keep your body healthy.

If you're working on an assignment, focus on that task without getting distracted by notifications or social media. Save entertainment apps for after study time.
