    Adjust Sleep Schedule Gradually: During the summer, it's easy to fall into a more relaxed sleep routine. To ensure a smooth transition, start adjusting bedtimes and wake-up times a week or two before school starts. Gradually shift the schedule earlier by 15-30 minutes each day until it aligns with the school routine. A well-rested student is better equipped to handle the demands of the school day.
