Feeling Tired? Don’t Consume More Caffeine or Take Study Drugs

Everyone needs adequate sleep to function mentally and physically at their best. David Edwards, M.D., a family medicine physician at Texas Tech Physicians, said without a good night’s rest, college students are more likely to rely on caffeine and other substances to get them through the day. 

“Sleep is very important, particularly for the average college student who is spending more time than usual studying, learning new information and oftentimes exercising vigorously,” Edwards said. “Sleep helps us recharge physically and mentally.”
