Stay on track

It is important that you maintain a sense of daily routine. Try and set a daily schedule:

• Avoid sleeping in on weekdays and set an alarm clock.
• Wash, dress and get ready as if you were going to class.
• Eat as normally and healthily as possible at regular meal times and avoid snacking.
• In the evening, do something you enjoy before going to bed and avoid staying up late into the night.

In short, stay on track!

Take care of yourself and make time for yourself

Alternate resting, eating and working periods with time to relax:

• Make time for your own well-being. Many breathing exercises, relaxation and meditation techniques, yoga routines, etc. can be practiced in small spaces.
• Stay active. Exercise whenever possible (in accordance with the current regulations). If you are not able to do so, stand up every two hours and walk around your room, house or apartment.
• Spend some time in natural daylight, get some fresh air, even if only through an open window.
• If you are feeling inspired, get creative.

Stay informed but not overwhelmed: do keep up with the latest lockdown information, but not all day long

• Seek information from reliable sources.
• Just as you have scheduled specific times for work and rest, set a time in your day (or week) to research the latest information and stick to it.
• To avoid disrupting your sleep, try to avoid the news just before going to bed.

What if you have already tried all of the above, but something is still not quite right? Please remember that healthcare professionals are there to help you.

• Your field of study;
• The reason for your request;
• Your phone number(s).

In this particular situation, social workers are doing everything they can to respond to your urgent requests.
