What Actually Happens When You Sleep (and Why It Matters)

Framed around familiar teenage experiences, like cramming all night, tossing and turning, and waking up groggy for no clear reason, this course explains the mechanics of sleep: cycles, hormones, and what's really going on during those eight (or fewer) hours.

Topics Covered

Sleep cycles, sleep-wake rhythms, and the hormones that drive them
Why dreams happen and what they might mean
Common sleep disorders that quietly disrupt rest
The real link between sleep and academic performance
Whether naps help or hurt, and how sleep debt builds up
Practical strategies to build a better sleep routine and support the immune system

Although framed around teenage health, the course is written for both teens and adults who want to understand the science behind sleep rather than just generic "get more sleep" advice, and it closes with concrete steps for turning that understanding into a better daily routine.
