Mental Well-Being in Students

Many students say that homework takes up so much of their time, and that they can not get enough sleep each night. But the thing is, are you managing your time wisely? Yes, it’s true that homework DOES take a lot of time, but you could greatly reduce the amount of time spent on homework.

First of all, are there many distractions around you as you do your homework? Are you constantly checking your phone or telling your little brother to be quiet? Eliminate these distractions and find a quiet place to work.

Create a schedule for doing your homework. Complete it earlier, so your mind is more alert, as compared to doing it in the middle of the night, when you are about to fall asleep. Also, do not do homework for 4 hours or more at a time. Take breaks every one hour or so or after you have finished a particular subject. This helps you concentrate more and lower your stress level.

Do not procrastinate. Getting things done earlier and way before they’re due helps free up your time for other things. Getting things done at the last minute will lower the quality of your work greatly.

Doing the things mentioned above will reduce the time spent on homework and ensure that you get more sleep each night, which is essential to having mental well-being.
