Having a pair of earplugs can really help reduce the noise and help students focus on falling asleep. 

• An eye mask can help make the sleep environment darker. 
• It is important to put away any electronic devices before bed.
• Quiet hours in residence start at 11 pm on school nights and 1 am on Fridays and Saturdays. If it is not quiet, you can call your CA.
