Healthy Sleep

Project Summary

Chronic sleep loss in youths has been identified as one of the most common and fixable public health issues in the United States. Healthy sleep patterns are associated with healthier weight, lower risk of involvement in automobile accidents, better grades, higher test scores, lower depression levels, and reduced risk of suicidal behavior. The YSAM program has begun a series of studies focusing on better understanding the impact of sleep problems on teen functioning and health and developing strategies for improving sleep in youths.
