Sleep and the College StudentProduced by the Academic Skills Center at Dartmouth College, this concise video helps students realize the importance of sleep in staying healthy, alert, and involved. It also offers practical perspectives on structuring activities and budgeting time so that sleep can be fully integrated into college life. Dr. Michael J. Sateia, a Dartmouth professor of psychiatry and a pioneer in the field of sleep medicine, explains that sleep influences both short-term and long-term memory processing, making it crucial to the “procedural learning” of academic and athletic success. Meanwhile, Dartmouth faculty and student body members offer their personal and professional testimonials on the value of restful sleep.
