On the surface, it may seem like the terms “getting a good night’s sleep” and “dorm room” don’t go together. This isn’t necessarily the case. Check out these 10 ways to get a good night’s sleep while living in a dorm room to find out how to make it happen.

1. Start with a comfortable mattress.

A good night’s sleep starts with a mattress that you will be able to relax on. Take the time to try out several styles before you decide which one you are going to use.

A futon is another choice if you are looking for flexibility when in a dorm room. It can be adjusted from a couch to a full bed, quickly and easily. If you decide to go for this option, make sure that you get one with a thick mattress that you will find comfortable when you try to sleep on it.
