There are only a few short weeks left of\u00a0summer<\/span>\u00a0vacation. Soon, that early morning<\/span> alarm will remind students across the county that it\u2019s time to get up, and head back to\u00a0<\/span>school<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That transition can be a sleepy one.<\/b><\/p>\n

After weeks of going to bed late and sleeping in, it can be difficult to adjust to that early morning wake up call.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Here are some tips to help get ready and avoid carrying an extra set of bags under the eyes on the first day.<\/p>\n

Start Going to Bed Earlier<\/strong><\/p>\n

When\u00a0summer<\/span>\u00a0rolls around we can all stay up late and binge watch Netflix until sunrise, but when\u00a0school<\/span>\u00a0starts, the whole idea must be tossed away. Most people wait until the night before\u00a0school<\/span>\u00a0starts to readjust their sleeping schedule, but, as most of us know, it never works out. During the first week of\u00a0school<\/span>\u00a0try to adjust a sleeping schedule to get eight hours of sleep every day. This can be a tough adjustment, so begin gradually. Set a morning alarm and go to bed half an hour earlier each night until you\u2019re back to your\u00a0school<\/span>\u00a0routine.<\/p>\n

Get supplies early<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Everyone knows the basic supplies necessary. Take advantage of the tax-free\u00a0school<\/span>\u00a0supply holiday and stock up on pens, pencils, folders and loose-leaf paper. This is a great time to invest in a new calculator! Getting everything together early will help combat the stress of the first week of\u00a0school<\/span>\u00a0when teachers hand out syllabi and supply lists.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\n

Plan to succeed\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Take some time to create some goals and a plan to achieve them. A new\u00a0school<\/span>\u00a0year is a new opportunity to learn, make friends and prepare for the future. Think of what that future should look like and get to making it a reality.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Have fun\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The\u00a0summer<\/span>\u00a0is not over yet! Have fun, catch up with friends and get ready for a new and exciting\u00a0school<\/span>\u00a0year<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
