Unplug to Recharge High School Video Contest
$1,000
Introduction Sleep is as essential to a healthy life as a nutritious diet and regular physical activity. Good sleep supports overall health, emotional well-being, and mood. For students, adequate rest sharpens memory and enhances clear, creative thinking, helping academic performance. Athletes benefit too—sleep boosts speed, strength, and accuracy. Additionally, sufficient sleep reduces the risk of accidents by preventing drowsy driving and other safety hazards. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) advises that adolescents aged 13–18 should regularly get 8 to 10 hours of sleep per night for optimal health. Despite this guidance, CDC data indicate that approximately 77.3% of...
