The Collegiate
Trifecta of Tragedy
The
current generation of college students is one that has no choice but to thrive
in a high-pressure environment with packed schedules and distractions at every turn.
It comes as no surprise that too few students attain the amount of sleep their
bodies require for proper function. But because brain development is believed
to continue well into one’s twenties, it is imperative that college students
remain cognizant of the fact that although they are grown up, they are still,
in a sense, growing. Sleep is essential for overall success in college. When
the body is sleep deprived, it contributes to a trifecta of collegiate tragedy:
weight gain, a weakened immune system and cognitive depreciation.
