Top Tips for 🌟Stellar🌟 Sleep Hygiene |
Tossing and turning at night? You’re not alone. Many students struggle with sleep, and poor sleep habits can affect your mood, stress levels, and overall health. Try out these habits:
|
-
Keep a consistent sleep schedule
- Try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time everyday.
- Powering down screens before bed
-
Put your phone away and log out of your computer at least 30 minutes before your bedtime. Blue screens can reduce melatonin production.
- Create a cozy, dark, quiet space
- Try using an eye mask, ear plugs, blackout curtains, or even a weighted blanket to help you fall and stay asleep.

Register for Refresh Sleep for the Winter Quarter |
Brailyn Davis brings her passion for student wellbeing and health education to her role through curriculum and program development that supports both learning and personal growth. With professional interests in sexual health, mental health, motivational interviewing, and behavior change interventions, Brailyn is dedicated to empowering students to make informed, healthy choices.
Brailyn leads the Refresh Sleep Program, a seven-week email course designed to help students improve their sleep quality. Participants receive weekly information and tips grounded in research-based strategies, covering topics such as the physiology of sleep, sleep hygiene, relaxation and mindfulness training, cognitive strategies, and keeping sleep logs. Students are encouraged to dedicate about 30 minutes per week to the materials to cultivate better sleep habits and overall wellbeing.
In addition to managing Refresh Sleep, Brailyn also supervises the Peer Health Advocates (PHAs)—a team of student leaders who promote health and wellness across campus. The PHAs connect peers to resources, create safe spaces for open dialogue, and offer peer education on key health topics through the lens of the Facets of Wellbeing.
Outside of work, Brailyn enjoys listening to music, walking, cooking, and planting—activities that reflect her balanced approach to wellness and her appreciation for mindful, everyday moments.
