From the NUS Student Life & Wellness Survey 2025:
- About 33% of students spend 4+ hours/day on social media.
- Spending 4+ hours/day on social media is correlated to a higher risk of social media addiction.
- It is also associated with 2.4ร— higher odds of anxiety/low mood

The NUS Student Life and Wellness Survey aims to better understand student experiences, including co-curricular participation, physical activity, volunteerism, and mental wellbeing. The 2025 edition, conducted between 14 March and 11 April, received more than 5,000 responsesโ€”representing 10% of the AY2024/25 full-time student population across all NUS faculties, schools, and institutes.

Happening now at ๐Ÿ“Yusof Ishak House Social Commons, โฐ now till 7pm, this student-run market by @NUSMakersAlley features around 50 artists showcasing handmade gifts, art, jewellery, scented goods and more!

What started in 2022 as a small market with just 16 artists has grown into NUSโ€™ largest student-run makers platform. Today, @NUSMakersAlley serves as a launchpad where hobbyists take the leap into entrepreneurship and side projects turn into small businesses. ๐Ÿค“

The fair is part of the NUS Arts Festival, organised by NUS Centre For the Arts and NUS Office of Student Affairs.

Drop by before 7pm to support our student makers and discover something special. ๐ŸŒŸ

Did you know that about 1 in 4 students report poor sleep quality? Poor sleep quality is linked with higher risk of depression and anxiety. It is also associated with 2.4ร— higher odds of elevated stress.

Better sleep, better you:
โœ… Optimise your sleep space: keep it cool, dark, and quiet (fan, eye mask, earplugs, white noise)
๐Ÿ›๏ธ Reserve the bed for sleep: avoid studying or watching shows in bed
๐ŸŒ™ Wind down: 30โ€“60 mins of low-light, low-stimulation routine before sleep
๐Ÿ“ฑ Tame late-night screens: Night Shift/blue light filters; phone off the pillow
โฐ Stay consistent: regular sleep/wake timesโ€”even on weekends

Look out for friends: ๐Ÿค If your peers arenโ€™t sleeping well, check in. If theyโ€™re facing anxiety or low mood, encourage them to seek support.

This is the second of a three-part campaign series. For more information about the survey or care tips, contact studentwellness@nus.edu.sg
