3. Don’t let the bed bugs bite

Caught between sleep and study schedule, you will often find yourself playing a tug of war between the two.

Sound sleep will help with cognition skills, behavioural control, and increased focus, all of which are essential in your academic life.

4. Disconnect the world and connect with yourself

During the online classes it is natural to feel overwhelmed with the exhausting screen-time, so put all the devices away and connect with yourself and enjoy your ‘me-time’.
