|
|
|
**A sleep study using males and females using bedtimes/wakeup times and hours of sleep for the weekday, for kids ages 11-14, to see how much sleep students are getting during the week and if there is a difference between ages and males and females. Also does their attendance percentage in school correlate with more sleep.
