How Do You Sleep At Night

RISE Sleep App

RISE

Are you looking for something to help you feel rested and energized? Check out this new app available free to Babson students for FOUR years!

From the RISE website: RISE makes it easy to improve your sleep and daily energy to reach your potential. 80% of RISE users feel the benefits of improved productivity, performance, and wellbeing within just five days! Did you know? The amount of sleep you get predicts your school performance, your mood, your physical health, and so much else. RISE helps you get more of it, starting tonight.

RISE is built around the two principles that sleep researchers agree affect how we feel and perform: sleep debt and circadian rhythm.

  • Sleep debt: RISE tracks how much sleep you owe your body and helps you pay it back through small changes in your day-to-day routine
  • Circadian rhythm: RISE not only predicts your daily energy schedule, it helps you take control of it to best prepare for the day and week ahead!

Download the RISE app and enjoy free access for four years!

Stress is a normal response to the demands and pressures we experience in life. Some stress can be helpful and motivate us to meet deadlines and perform, but too much stress carried for too long, however, can be harmful and impact our ability to function.

Relaxation tools such as coloring books, fidget sticks, and silly putty are available at Wellness & Prevention Services in Hollister Hall, Suite 122. Stop by during office hours to pick one up.
