Should your school be ringing the alarm about the student sleep crisis?
In recent years, the trend of inadequate sleep among students has become alarmingly prevalent, impacting nearly all areas of their lives. With competing priorities such as academic performance, extracurricular activities, and preparing for life after graduation: does prioritizing sleep matter?
According to our 2024 Student Voice Report, on average, high school students report receiving only 6.6 hours of sleep per night, far below the recommended 8-10 hours for their age group. This sleep deficit is not just a minor inconvenience—it has profound implications for students’ health, well-being, and academic performance.
From increased stress to negative health impacts that can lead to more absences from school, addressing the student sleep crisis is imperative to fostering a learning environment that is both healthy and successful for your community.
