A chart shows that students self-ranking of sleep scores is around a 7, on a scale of 0 (poor sleep health) to 12 (good sleep health).
A photo from the guide shares students' answers to why sleep health matters. The answers link it to productivity and energy levels.
A clip from the sleep guide asks students "When I think about sleep health, I think about...". Answers include sleep disorders and regular, uninterrupted sleep.
The photo of the cover page of the document shares information about World Sleep Day and that the theme of this year's day is "Make Sleep Health a Priority."
A new resource by KITE scientist Dr. Tatyana Mollayeva and research analyst Thaisa Tylinski Sant'Ana highlights students' challenges with sleep—and calls on administrators and others to help them. Learn more at www.kite-uhn.com/news/sleep-g...
