Mon, Nov 17Sleep On ItSleep is vital to success in classes, work, and personal life. However, most students sacrifice their sleep to balance everything on their plate. Studies reveal that when people fail to get enough sleep, concentration and memory can suffer. This table gives students the opportunity to learn what can help and hinder their sleep by navigating their way across our game board to collect as many hours of sleep as they can! It also offers a unique activity, allowing students to try meditation or a breathing exercise! This is a simple technique every student can use before bed to help them relax and have a better night’s sleep.
