Making new friends! Enjoying more freedom! Learning new things! Getting plenty of sleep!

    OK, there's a lot for incoming college students to get excited about, and maybe sleep isn't too high on the list. But in order to handle these life changes while staying healthy and feeling your best, you've got to try to get seven to eight hours of quality sleep most nights. And that may be easier said than done. Between night owl roommates, more social and extracurricular activities, extra studying and loads of freedom to stay up as late as you'd like, sleep may fall to the bottom of your priority list.

    It's not easy to work in regular sleep, but it's probably more manageable than writing that 10-page term paper or resisting the dining halls' bottomless ice cream, so we're sure you can manage. Here's how to enjoy a well-rested college experience:

    Adjust your environment. You probably won't be able to create a Ritz-Carlton suite from your shoebox dorm room and twin mattress, but do what you can to create a dark, cool, comfortable sleeping environment. If your bed is near the door, where you can hear the hustle and bustle from the hallway, move it to somewhere else in the room, Cohen says. Try hanging curtains around your bed to add privacy and block light, and consider adding white noise, he adds. You can buy white noise generators online and in big-box stores, or you can check out free websites like simplynoise.com. If the room is still too loud – perhaps it's near a high-traffic part of the floor – talk to your resident assistant about possibly changing rooms. Many campuses also have dorm buildings with quiet hours, which you may want to consider.

    Steal naps when you can. If you're not getting much sleep at night, supplement with naps while your roommate isn't around, Cohen says. But note that while some naps work wonders to recharge your battery, long or poorly timed naps can make you feel groggy afterward or affect your sleep quality come bedtime. So nap wisely. While everyone's sweet spot is different, as a general guideline, the Mayo Clinic suggests shooting for midafternoon naps of about 10 to 30 minutes long.

    Remember sleep hygiene basics. A lot of your old routine will be different in college. Your workload may increase. Your friend group may change. Your interests may shift. But the formula for good sleep hygiene will stay the same: appropriate, consistent bedtimes and less caffeine, alcohol, exercise and screen time as you approach those times. Getting that routine right will go a long way to helping you calmly navigate the changes college brings. "When you’re sleep deprived, you’re impatient, you can’t think clearly, and everything is bigger," Cohen says. "College is big enough. Take care of yourself."
