Comments on Activity:
- This week was a busier than usual week for me with work, school, and family that I was not able
to go to bed early enough to get adequate hours of sleep. I did feel tired on some of the days but
I did notice a change in my productivity and I did not feel as exhausted as I usually do.
Comments on Activity:
- I have been reflecting on last semester where self-care was constantly mentioned yet we never
had time to actually focus on ourself. This semester has been so much better for me mentally and
physically just by being able to get enough sleep throughout the night.
Comments on Activity:
- I found these interventions very helpful and it is something I will incorporate to my routine on a
daily basis.
Have you noticed any changes in your life since you began this intervention?

- I have noticed that I am less stressed and much less exhausted than I usually am. I am not as
irritated or moody, and I have more energy to catch up with my friends and family. Now I am
able to fall asleep faster without having to take melatonin gummies. I am in a much more
positive mindset than I was before and will continue to invest in my mental health.
