The CDC recommends that as adults we should get 7-9 hours of sleep per night. For most of us, especially while in college, that rarely happens; trying to balance studying, exercising, eating right, and having a social life, plus trying to sleep on average 7-9 hours every night is a seemingly impossible task to accomplish here at BYU. We need to try though. It's been shown that receiving enough sleep nightly decreases our risk of getting chronic disease and sleeping disorders, as well as relieving stress. Sleeping may not be an obvious public health factor, but it sure is important.
