This study investigates the effects of a sleep education program, "Sleep 101", on sleep hygiene practices, sleep quality, and weekday and weekend sleep behaviors among college students. A total of 338 college students from a midsized public university in the US participated, with 25 completing both the baseline and post-intervention questionnaire. The Sleep Hygiene Index (SHI) and self-reported questions were used to assess sleep behaviors and subjective sleep quality. Participants who completed the study experienced a significant increase in weekday sleep duration and were less likely to engage in activities unbeneficial for sleep before bedtime. Additionally, 40% of the completers reported improvements in their sleep quality. These findings suggest that a brief online program like "Sleep 101" can effectively improve sleep behaviors among college students and might be a scalable approach to addressing current sleep issues and preventing future sleep problems in this population.

The growing impact of climate change and escalating wildfire seasons has led to heightened ambient air pollution, potentially affecting children's sleep health. However, current epidemiological research often relies on outdoor weather data to model the environmental impacts on sleep health, potentially mischaracterizing the actual bedroom environment. To address these challenges, we conducted experiments to investigate the relationships among ambient, indoor, and personal exposure to PM concentrations and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children.
