Sleep school for stressed students: a new study tests if simple habits can beat burnout
NCT ID NCT07190872
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a short sleep education program can improve sleep habits and quality in health sciences students. About 100 students will attend four weekly 40-minute classes covering bedtime routines, caffeine limits, and stress management. Researchers will measure sleep habits and quality before, 2 weeks after, and 4 weeks after the classes. The goal is to see if this simple, low-cost approach helps students sleep better and feel more rested.
