Activity: For World Sleep Day, we embraced this year’s theme, “Make Sleep Health a Priority,” by hosting an interactive activity at CCBC to raise awareness about the importance of sleep. Students, faculty, and staff participated by taking a Sleep Pledge, completing the sentence “I prioritize sleep because…” on Post-it notes, and posting them on our “Sleep Wall.” This visual display highlighted personal motivations for healthy sleep habits, from improving focus and mood to boosting overall well-being. Special thanks to MedBridge for supporting our event with sleep apnea questionnaires and the adorable sheep giveaways, making sleep education both informative and engaging. By fostering conversations about sleep health, we hope to encourage lasting habits that promote better rest and overall wellness!
