Approximately 66% of young adults report that they felt like they were not getting enough sleep.
Improving the sleep health of our students, and the communities around them is vital as we become increasingly aware of the relationship between insufficient sleep and reduced academic outcomes, psychological problems, reduced attendance and increased risk-taking behaviour.

Good quality sleep helps:
Optimise focus, memory and academic performance
Support our mental health and resilience
Promote positive behaviour and decision making
Improve energy levels, metabolism and immune system, along with all areas of physical health

Individual tips and a whole school approach to being a “sleep smart school"
Approximately 66% of young adults report that they felt like they were not getting enough sleep.
This is having a significant impact on many areas of their lives such as:
- Learning and academic performance: Good quality sleep is essential for both pre and post-learning. Poor sleep decreases motivation, concentration and memory consolidation.
- Mental health and resilience: Poor sleep negatively impacts relationships, overall mood and can be associated with depression, anxiety, negative body image and low self-esteem.
- Behaviour and decision-making: Poor sleep impacts decision-making capacity, has a negative effect on behaviour and increases risk of accidents.
- Physical Health: Poor sleep impacts all areas of physical health, brain development, immune system and plays a key role in weight gain.
Create awareness of the level of sleep deprivation among students and the effect this is having on all aspects of their lives.
Empower participants with the knowledge, practical strategies and tools to make informed decisions regarding their sleep health.
