How many hours of sleep do you think you need every night to function at your best? How can you tell?
On an average, how many hours of sleep did you get on weeknights?
On average, how many hours of sleep did you get on weekend nights?
How would you rank the importance of sleep compared with studying, working, spending time with friends/family, and other activities? What things get in the way of your consistently getting enough sleep?
What changes can you make to your schedule and/or routines that might improve your sleep habits?
