Bring Better Sleep to Your School, One Community at a Time

What Is a “Better Sleep” Chapter?

A Better Sleep Chapter is a student-led team committed to raising awareness about sleep health in their school or community. Chapters turn research into action—through presentations, campaigns, surveys, and peer education.

Whether you’re a student, educator, or healthcare ally, starting a chapter means becoming a local advocate for mental wellness, academic success, and healthy routines.

🌙 Our goal: to help every teen sleep better, think clearer, and live healthier.
