Spend enough time on any university campus, and it probably won’t be long before you hear someone talk about last night’s sleep – or the lack of it. Perhaps they had to get up early for a lecture after enjoying a night out, or they stayed up until the morning completing an assignment.
Poor sleeping habits, such as a lack of routine or not getting the right amount of sleep, are common – and even normalised – among university students. Sacrificing sleep or sleeping at unconventional times is accepted as the reasonable choice to maintain a balance between study demands and socialising.
