Summary

This study tests whether female health sciences students can improve their sleep patterns and reduce social jet lag by doing acupressure on themselves every day for 12 weeks. Half the participants will use real acupressure points, while the other half will use sham (fake) points, to see if there's a real benefit. The goal is to find a simple, non-drug way to help students sleep better.
