Let’s Sleep! is a joint initiative of Brigham & Women’s Hospital’s Division of Sleep & Circadian Disorders, led by Harvard Medical School’s sleep pioneer Dr. Charles Czeisler, and the non-profit Healthy Hours, dedicated to promoting sleep health and raising public awareness about the relationship of sleep and developmentally appropriate school hours to physical, psychological, and educational well-being.
The Let’s Sleep! team consists of sleep researchers, pediatricians and other medical professionals, psychologists, writers, and educators who share a common vision of creating compelling, accessible, and scientifically accurate sleep education materials for students, parents, teachers, and school administrators across the United States.
A wealth of free resources aimed at children and teens is available on the Let’s Sleep! website, including videos, interactive activities, games, posters, sleep tools, research overviews, and downloadable lesson plans that map to NSTA standards.
I really like the engaging mix of resources available on Let’s Sleep! The focus on video and interactive activities means children and teens are more likely to engage with the content, either independently or with the support of a teacher or parent.
