College is an investment. Each student is a walking portfolio of their parent's earnings, and there should be a robust return on investment as if one were betting on stock like Martha Stewart.

September was sleep month on HuffPost College -- instead of warning new students about gaining the Freshman 15, we encouraged them to get the Freshman...

YAWN. Good morning! It's 7:30 a.m., and I feel so alive! You see, just a short month ago, I would have awoken bleary-eyed and confused after an unsati...

You clearly have no decency, but if you do have a fail-safe way to secure eight hours of sleep, I'll be happy to listen. By the way, I'd kill to have your skin and metabolism. They tipped me off to your impressive sleep habits.

I only pulled one all-nighter during my college career. It was mercilessly sandwiched between two all-dayers, and it was the type that makes you feel like you've been hit on the side of the head with a bag of sand and then been instructed to carry it on your back for a few hours.

Standing in front of my once bright-eyed, now baggy-eyed students, I am reminded how important sleep is for young undergraduates.

Sleep is a sensory experience, and an in-depth consideration of the five senses is a great way to evaluate your bedroom and create the ideal sleep environment.

Pulling all-nighters in college is not an out-of-the-ordinary activity. During my academic career, I had to pull a few during finals week. The morning...

We know more sleep will help your GPA, memory and performance. But getting that precious eight hours can be a bit of a challenge in a dorm room.

I think I feel worse when I sleep five hours because it's not long enough to make you feel rested and it's not short enough to be a nap. Then again, maybe that's my twisted logic.

Well, if I fall asleep by one, I get six hours of sleep. That's not too bad... Okay, now it's two. If I fall asleep RIGHT NOW I can manage five hours. I can function on five hours.

Meet the 21st century college student: a super-human creature, trained in multi-tasking to an ultimate level, adjusted to odd sleep schedules and spar...

Only 11 percent of American college students report that they sleep well. Forty percent say that they feel well rested about two days a week. Seventy-three percent report experiencing "occasional" sleep issues. We are facing a sleepademic!

Researchers from Trent University in Ontario (Go Excalibur!) found that students who were "tested" at 9 a.m. on a Guitar Hero song that they had learned at 9 p.m. the previous night (and then gotten their rest), performed three times better than students who learned the song in the morning and then were tested that evening.

College is on its way -- or already here -- and with it comes sleep deprivation. So here at HuffPost College we have started a new sleep challenge: The Freshman 8! To continue to motivate everyone I wanted to focus on how getting those eight hours can help your GPA.

This week, I loaded up a U-Haul van to take my youngest daughter to college for her freshman year, and to help my older daughter get settled in for her junior year. It's a big transition, not just for them but for their mom, who will be an empty nester for the first time in 21 years. Our lives have been so consumed with the details of the move, there hasn't been much time to contemplate the emotional logistics. I thought long and hard about what my parting advice to them should be. I decided on, "get enough sleep!" Indeed, HuffPost College has launched a campaign urging students to replace the traditional "Freshman 15" (pounds), with the "Freshman 8" (hours of sleep). Check out Dr. Michael Breus's post on why this is so important, and these great tips on getting enough sleep in a dorm... without your mommy there to tuck you in.

We've all heard of the dreaded Freshman 15, but what about the Freshman 8? HuffPost College is encouraging all incoming students this year to get at ...

Sleep deprivation, especially among college students, is at epidemic levels. So what to do?
