how to avoid education burnout
have 3 achievable goals a day: having a laundry list of things to do everyday is super unrealistic, and you just end up feeling bad about yourself because you didnāt accomplish your goals for the day.
leave your sundays open: i love sundays because theyāre my day to chill out and catch up on school work that i wasnāt able to finish during the week.
recognize when youāre at your emotional limits:Ā forcing yourself to get work done when you are unable to comprehend your study material does not benefit anyone.
learn how to say no: people will ask you for your time and it will stretch you to the limit, whether it be at your job, in your extracurriculars, or in your personal life. know when to step back and say no.
take care of yourself physically:Ā take breaks, go for walks, shower regularly, get enough sleep, eat healthy, see your friends
celebrate your accomplishments:Ā go out to eat with friends after a big exam, indulge in a night off after a busy week with some netflix and wine
make a study plan beforehand:Ā it can be daunting to see how much work you need to put in to a class or task beforehand, but this allows you to spread your work evenly so you donāt become overwhelmed.
learn how toĀ ask for help:Ā it is very rare that people make it through school, whether it be high school or university or any graduate program, without needing the advice of others or just a kind soul to vent to. find that person.
never forget your hobbies:Ā you will need things that keep you sane. if you love to play music, write, play volleyball, or cook, make you sure you donāt lose these things. they will become your escape when times get tough.
log off from time to time:Ā it is exhausting to be constantly connected to social media and your email. just physically disconnecting from these for a night to take care of yourself can really help you clear your mind.
i always forget to post my own photos on tumblr ;; issok tho!! iāll try to post more frequently :ā)

How to Fix your Sleep Schedule
Weāve all been there. Youāve been pushing back your bedtime for an entire week and now you feel exhausted and you donāt think you can function as well as you normally could. You just want to get enough sleep again, but how?
Make small changes
Itās a lot easier to push back your bedtime than to push it forwardābut itās not impossible. You just have to take it step by step. Go to sleep 15-30 minutes earlier every night until you reach your desired bedtime. You could try going to sleep much earlier than your regular time, but according that doesnāt usually work out. If youāre waking up later than you want to, you might also want to try waking up 15 minutes earlier each morning until you get up at the desired time.
I remember there was a week this semester when I went to sleep at 1am for several days in a row (I usually sleep at 11). I was sleep deprived and exhausted and I tried to sleep at 8 to catch up on lost sleep, but I couldnāt. I just laid in my bed for an hour until I gave up trying to sleep and decided to work on some homework until I felt sleepy again. What I shouldāve done was go to bed 15 minutes earlier each night until I could go to sleep at 11 again.
Adjust exposure to sunlight
Exposure to adequate amounts of sunlight is key to helping our bodies maintain their circadian rhythm, which is the process that regulates our energy levels during the day and tells us when to be awake and when to go to sleep. Sunlight helps our body produce optimal levels of melatonin, a hormone that makes us feel sleepy at night. Studies have shown that people get better quality sleep in the summer because there is a greater exposure to light.
That being said, you should expose yourself to more light during the day to get better sleep at night. This might mean waking up earlier so you donāt miss hours of sunlight in the morning.
At night, you should reduce your exposure to any sort of light - both natural and artificial - so that your body knows itās time to not be awake. I personally turn down the lights (and only have my fairy lights on) after 10:30 pm. When youāre trying to get back into your desired sleep schedule, you could aim to turn down the lights 30 minutes before your desired bedtime for that day.
Donāt eat too close to bedtime
You should wait 2 - 3 hours between dinner/your last meal and bedtime. I would talk about how studies show that eating too close to bedtime can possibly damage your health, e.g. causing reflux when youāre lying down, but thatās all been said before. The only thing Iād like to reiterate is that you sleep better when you wait after you eat. But as for my own logic on why you shouldnāt go to sleep when youāre fullā¦
When you wait a few hours after youāve had your last meal, before you go to bed, you wonāt go to bed full, meaning that in the morning, youāre likely to be hungry. I donāt know about you, but I canāt go back to sleep when Iām, like, starving, so being hungry when I wake up causes me to resist sleeping in.
Donāt sleep in
You would think that sleeping in is, in fact, good for catching up on sleep. In reality, it doesnāt make you stop sleeping late, since youād probably still spend the same amount of time awake. Instead, once you wake up, you should stay up, and donāt go back to sleep. Youāre likely to get sleepy at an earlier time, and this will help you push forward your bedtime.
Resist napping
Resisting naps also has a similar logic to not sleeping in. If you take a nap, youāll feel more energetic and night, and you might not be able to fall asleep as soon as you wanted to. If you resist taking a nap, however, youāll be more tired at night, and youāll fall asleep more easily.
Be strict with yourself
Finally, the key to having a good, consistent sleep schedule is to be strict with yourself. Donāt let yourself stay up for just 5 more minutes because you still have a āsmallā task to take care of. When itās time to end the day, end the day.
Maybe itās hard for you to be strict with yourself since you canāt justify going to sleep over completing whatever task or responsibility you have left. Well, hereās my logic:
You could stay up 5 more minutes and risk extending that to a few hours or so in attempt to finish something. Thereās no guarantee that youāll finish it, and you might just lose all those precious hours of sleep for nothing, since youāll wake up in the morning tired and unable to effectively do the task you wanted to do; or
You could stop everything youāre doing and sleep on it. You wake up in the morning feeling refreshed and clear-headed and ready to tackle on your tasks for the day. You find a new way to think about the task you were stuck on, and you finally solve it in less than half an hour.
I do realize that this only applies if the task isnāt super urgent. Letās say you have a project due 11:59 PM and youāre rushing to finish that. In this case, the core problem is probably something else: an inability to manage your time, or procrastination. If thatās the case, you might want to check out my posts on how to beat procrastination and how to create an efficient (revision) schedule. The latter post is tailored for exam preparation, but the main ideas are the same for general scheduling (thereās a recap at the bottom if you just want to know the main ideas).
Additionally, you might wanna check out my post on my night routine.
And thatās all I have for you today! Hope this was helpful, and if you have any questions, feel free to drop me an ask or message me. Have an awesome day :)
