Answers:
If you have any time at all and your on the computer or watching tv!., start going outside more instead!. If you have lots of homework, try working in a quiet place or even outside!. On the weekends/ when you have free time, pick up a hobbie, play the guitar, play soccer, go ride a bike, any of those should really help you relax!. Go to bed earlier too that helps!.

The first thing you could learn to do that will help is to try not to worry too much about the things you can't change, this is a slow process, but with a conscious effort to keep reminding yourself, you will begin to notice yourself less stressed!. The other thing is eating right and getting enough sleep, this will ensure that you are able to handle the stress better!. Also, meditation really does work if you do it properly, there are many websites that will teach you how to do it!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Make sure you're getting eight hours of sleep a night, whether you have work to do or not (if you have trouble sleeping, try these: http://www!.well!.com/~mick/insomnia/)!. Always take a five minute break every half-hour/forty minutes when studying, and drink plenty of water!. Try to get exercise, even if it's just a few long walks a week (with some occasional small amounts of jogging) and a dancing class, or bike ride or Pilate's class!.
Eat small serves of fresh fruit several times a day, along with things like low-fat biotic yoghurt and a slice of wholegrain toast!. Cut back on caffeine and sugar!.
Also, every few days, do something relaxing, like taking a long hot bath, lying down and listening to some good music, going for a picnic at the park with friends or catching a movie!. During these, try not to think of anything stressful!. Down-time is really important, and your brain needs time to recuperate!.

This is what has helped me:
I downloaded several soft, relaxing songs, burned them to a CD, and play the CD as I drift off to sleep!.
I also burned a CD of guided breathing and guided meditation!. It helps tremendously!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds cliche, but meditation and/or yoga help tremendously!. Trust me on this one!. About 2 years ago I was taking 18 hours in college AND working full time! That's stress right there! I found that yoga really made me feel more in control and helped to clear my mind!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
