Want to Improve Your Sleep?

submitted by phalp1@augsburg.edu

Before we start…

I want to acknowledge that many students are navigating a lot right now. With current events affecting our communities, stress, uncertainty, and disrupted sleep are very real — and it’s okay if things feel heavier than usual.

With that in mind, I’m sharing a gentle, optional invitation to participate in a Sleep Hygiene Education Project as part of my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) work. This project is designed to support college students who may be feeling overwhelmed, fatigued, or simply in need of rest.

Why consider joining?

Learn evidence-based strategies for better sleep

Receive a personalized sleep plan

Support focus, energy, and academic well-being

Opportunities to receive sleep-related items (Hatch alarm clock, blue-light glasses, aromatherapy, etc.

Participation is completely voluntary, and both undergraduate and graduate students are welcome. Choosing not to participate will not affect you in any way.

If and when it feels right for you, you can scan the QR code on the flyer or email me directly for more information. There is no pressure — your well-being comes first.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and please take care of yourselves and one another.

Warmly,
Nikki Truong

Want to Improve Your Sleep?

submitted by phalp1@augsburg.edu

Before we start…

I want to acknowledge that many students are navigating a lot right now. With current events affecting our communities, stress, uncertainty, and disrupted sleep are very real — and it’s okay if things feel heavier than usual.

With that in mind, I’m sharing a gentle, optional invitation to participate in a Sleep Hygiene Education Project as part of my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) work. This project is designed to support college students who may be feeling overwhelmed, fatigued, or simply in need of rest.

Why consider joining?

Learn evidence-based strategies for better sleep

Receive a personalized sleep plan

Support focus, energy, and academic well-being

Opportunities to receive sleep-related items (Hatch alarm clock, blue-light glasses, aromatherapy, etc.

Participation is completely voluntary, and both undergraduate and graduate students are welcome. Choosing not to participate will not affect you in any way.

If and when it feels right for you, you can scan the QR code on the flyer or email me directly for more information. There is no pressure — your well-being comes first.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and please take care of yourselves and one another.

Warmly,
Nikki Truong
