The Problem
1. 85% of teens reported NOT getting the recommended 8 hours of sleep on school nights.

2. 73% of teens reported feeling depressed also report not getting enough sleep at night and being excessively sleepy during the day.

3. Tired students don't learn. They are more likely to become frustrated and drop out.

The Solution
Communicate. Talk to students about the importance of sleep and highlight the facts with posters from our Healthy Sleep Series.
Call Home. Let parents know that their child appears to be exhibiting signs of exhaustion in school. Inform them that their child's lack of alertness could be effecting their academic performance.
Create Incentives. Give awards for improved student participation.
