No matter how many first days of school students have, a new school year can bring anxiety and disturb the peace of summer, but there are ways to lessen the stress and have a great start. 

1) Slowly adjust sleep schedules

Readjusting sleep schedules can be one of the more difficult transitions after staying up late or sleeping all summer. 

Start going to bed at a time that allows teens to be awake early and not tired throughout the school day. According to the CDC, teenagers require 8-10 hours of sleep every night. 

2) Stay on top of schoolwork 

It can be difficult to get back to the routine of having homework and staying focused in class. Falling behind early in the school year will make it harder for students to catch up on schoolwork later.
