Like it or not, the summer is slowing drawing to a close. As the calendar turns over to August, students the world over will begin gearing up to resume their studies.

College students in particular may want to take a few minutes to review better sleep tips and how being in college can disrupt sleep. Furthermore, you may want to check out a few items to accessorize your dorm room.

Perhaps the most unusual item I've seen lately is a $24 post-it pillow. Just like it sounds, it is a yellow pillow that serves as an eraseable message board. Another curiosity is a $39.99 Sonic Boom alarm clock that has an ear-shattering volume (113 decibels!) and a bed-shaking option. With such a device, you may decide to follow the advice to forgo the alarm clock entirely.

If you have other must-have sleep-related items for college students, feel free to share a link below in the comments.
