We asked of Huddersfield students to share their top tips for staying healthy, physically and mentally, in the winter, on our Prompt Board in the Calm Zone (Floor 5). 🤔❓❄️

Student's suggested the following:

Have snowball fights.
Wear a jumper.
Cycling.
Get cosy in bed.
Get out in to the sunlight every day.
Read a good book with a hot tea.
Sleep.
Wear thermals.

You can find the Calm Zone on Floor 5, next to the Silent Study area and PGR Study Room. Our Subject Librarians write a different prompt, thought, idea, question or even a puzzle or game on it each month and there are always board pens available for students to respond.
