Sleep Challenge:
In line with our educational video, we want you to start recording your hours of sleep attained this week. We would like to you document the time you are going to sleep and waking up in a notebook or journal this week. According to most research, teens should aim for AT LEAST 8 hours of sleep a night and optimally between 9-11 hours.
You will be asked about this log on our survey so we suggest you log your sleep in a safe place! You will get points for Monday by starting a journal for sleep and your hours of sleep Sunday night, and then you be asked to record hours of sleep each day this week.
