Purpose:
This reflective activity empowers students to become researchers of their own sleep routines, using data to make small, meaningful changes.

What It Covers:

• The importance of consistency and sleep duration

• How technology, stress, and caffeine impact sleep

• The connection between REM sleep, memory, and mood

Activity:
Over the course of a week, students log their sleep habits and then introduce a positive change (e.g., no screens before bed). They reflect on the impact through simple graphs or writing prompts.

Why It Matters:
Self-experimentation gives students agency and insight into how their habits directly influence energy, emotion, and academic performance.
