Healthy body, healthy mind

Studies have shown that regular exercise helps mitigate the effects of mild to moderate depression and anxiety.

More widely, exercise can be used as a preventative means of ensuring mental wellbeing. Strathclyde Sport provides facilities to follow a healthy and active lifestyle.

Money

Sleep

Most people need on average 6 to 8 hours of sleep per night. During stressful times, such as during exams, losing a night’s sleep will not cause any lasting damage. Once the pressure is off, most people return to a normal sleep pattern. Some people develop more lasting problems.
