Summarize the following:
If you want to look amazing on that first day, then you have to be well-rested. It can already be tricky to fall asleep on the night before the first day of school, so to up your chances of actually getting to sleep, you should make sure to start going to bed earlier and earlier and wake up earlier and earlier at least a few weeks in advance, so your body is ready to go to bed and wake up around the time you would normally do so for school before that first day. Start by going to bed half an hour earlier and waking up half an hour earlier each night and take it from there. Though getting into a solid pattern a few weeks before can be a big help, it's also important to be in a calm mental state the night before that first day, so you can easily fall asleep. Avoid intense conversations, last-minute decisions, or even arguments after dinner, take it easy on the caffeine and do something relaxing to wind down before bed, such as reading a book or drinking herbal tea. Try jogging, yoga, swimming, visiting the gym or mixing it up. Do a little something every day. This will help keep your energy levels up and shape you up for the upcoming school year. You don't need to exercise to get a super skinny look; you should do it to feel happy and healthy in your own skin. Don't be one of those girls who tries to lose a ton of weight over the summer unless that's something you really want to do. Get one of your friends to be your exercise buddy over the summer. This can help you have fun and stay motivated while getting in shape. If you have acne, use a high-quality facial wash. Wash your face daily. This will eliminate acne, leaving skin pimple-free the first day of school. Avoid harsh chemicals that over-dry and cause redness. Companies offer formulas for oily, combination, normal and dry skins. Use what your skin needs and not what your friends are using. If you have combination skin, look for something that won't dry out your normal areas when you wash the oily areas. Go for high-quality brands: Neutrogena, Nivea, L'Oreal, Mary Kay or Clean & Clear. Drink plenty of water. It's not only good for your skin; it also hydrates your body. It flushes toxins and helps stop food cravings. Picking out your outfit in advance will help you feel excited about that first day and will eliminate any last-minute stress you encounter when getting ready on that first day. You don't want to be late for school because you can't decide between three different outfits, do you? Instead, choose an outfit that is flattering and comfortable and lay it out the night before. Try out different jewelry and accessories along with your chosen outfit to find the look that suits you best. Depending on where you live, don't dive into fall looks for your first few weeks of school, since it will still be too warm. Wear lightweight and summery styles. Shop for a few summer items to get you through the warm weather when things go on sale at the end of the summer. Just make sure to check the forecast at least a few days in advance. That first day may be unusually cold or unusually hot, so it's important to be prepared. You can choose a look with layers, so you can control how hot or cold you feel throughout the day. Though packing up your school supplies and anything else you need for that first day may not help you look amazing, it will help you get into a relaxed and positive mental state before you walk out the front door of your home. You want to feel prepared and at ease and not have to deal with rifling through your desk to find that homework assignment ten minutes before that first bell rings. Plus, if you have to run around and look for your supplies the morning of that first day, it'll be harder to maintain that put-together look. If you want to go to school with a fresh coat of nail polish on your nails (if your school allows it), then you should either get a manicure or just do your nails yourself the day before the first day. Many girls think they'll have time to do it the morning of, and they just end up making themselves late or smearing their polish as soon as they leave the house. If you're not the nail polish type, then just file or trim your nails the day before so they are nice and even for that first day.

summary: Follow a solid sleeping routine at least a few weeks before. Begin a daily exercise routine over the break. Develop a skin care regime. Plan what you are going to wear at least a week before. Pack up your backpack. If you want to do your nails, do them the day before.

Summarize the following:
If you are used to going to bed at midnight, you will certainly have trouble suddenly going to bed at 8 o'clock. Instead, try going to sleep at 11 o'clock, then 10 o'clock, and so on. It can take days or weeks to change your body's natural rhythm. It's important to begin adjusting your body a couple weeks before school starts. Give your body and mind plenty of time to adjust. Don't start trying to adjust your sleep schedule two nights before school starts. You didn't become a night owl overnight, so don't expect to become a morning person overnight either! It takes time to reset your internal clock, so start a couple of weeks before the first day of school. Different age groups have different sleep requirements. Children from 6 to 13 should be getting 9-11 hours of sleep nightly, while teenagers ages 14-17 need about 8-10 hours. Younger adults age 18-25 are recommended to receive about 7-9 hours. Exercising regularly is a great way to expend energy and ensure you sleep soundly at night. It can also help you fall asleep more quickly. Studies have shown that people who exercise at least 150 minutes a week also feel more alert and energized during their waking hours. Exercising late at night can energize you right before you need to be in bed. Try to work out in the mornings or early afternoons, and relax with more calming hobbies in the evening, such as reading. Not only can caffeine make it harder for you to fall asleep, but it can also make your sleep disruptive and uneasy. By avoiding caffeine completely, you can get the deep, restorative sleep that will set you up for a successful day. If you don't want to cut out caffeine completely, at least try to avoid it up to six hours before bedtime. This means everything- phones, tablets, televisions, etc. These devices shine light into your eyes, which has been scientifically proven to promote wakefulness. Just as the sunset signals the end of the day, your electronics should go lights out too. A dark bedroom tells your brain that it is time to sleep. There are also free apps on smartphones that can provide white noise- just make sure the bright screen is off! Your brain craves stimulation, and it can be hard to turn that desire off at night. A white noise machine provides that stimulation, in a gentle and calming way. It also masks any bothersome noises from outside your bedroom that can keep you awake. You can play around with different white noise options such as thunderstorm, campfire, rain forest, and more. It is not easy to sleep if you are tossing and turning in a hot bedroom. As your body temperature lowers, your brain is told that it's time to sleep. The best temperature for snoozing is anywhere from 60 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit. If you aren't in control of the thermostat, a ceiling fan or a portable fan can do the trick. A fan can also provide calming white noise.
summary: Scale your bedtime back gradually. Determine how much sleep you need. Exercise daily. Avoid caffeine as you begin your new sleeping schedule. Keep electronics out of your bedroom. Invest in a white noise machine. Lower the thermostat.
