Learners are susceptible to forming harmful habits, especially with persistent research demands. A restless night may lead to restlessness over time, and you may find yourself distracted or engaged in idle activities throughout your day.
Some patterns (such as poor sleep hygiene) affect necessary parts of a healthy lifestyle, but some come from conflicting priorities causing you to spend time irresponsibly (such as taking on too many projects at work or abandoning academic responsibilities for your personal life).
