Recommended 7 to 9 hours of sleep for young adults

60% of college students on average get about 7 hours of sleep per night

Poor sleep can have a negative effect on mood, concentration, and memory

Establishing good sleep habits such as avoiding screens before bed, going to bed and waking up at the same time each day, and avoiding caffeine late in the day can help maintain better mental health.

Sleep time and sleep quality are key elements that can have a major impact on mental health.
