Mansfield Senior High School has introduced a course on sleep to address the widespread issue of sleep deprivation among teenagers. With students often turning to social media until they fall asleep, the course aims to teach adolescents how to get adequate rest, as many have not learned these skills. Experts argue that the lack of sleep is contributing to a wider youth mental health crisis, with sufficient sleep linked to better academic performance and overall well-being. The course highlights the necessity for schools to address this important health topic.
"It might sound odd to say that kids in high school have to learn the skills to sleep, but you'd be shocked how many just don't know how to sleep."
"Walk into any high school in America and you will see kids asleep. Sleep is directly connected with mental health. There is not going to be anyone who argues with that."
