The pervasiveness of chronic insufficient sleep among K-12 students is undisputed among researchers and considered a public health issue. Chronic insufficient sleep has far-reaching, harmful consquences on a student’s physical, psychological, and emotional wellbeing. Experts have researched and documented the magnitude of the problem. However, there are still few resources from which students and their families can gain the knowledge and support they need to combat the countless barriers which leave them sleep-deprived. Occupational therapy services, in collaboration with the services provided by a tutoring center, could have a significant positive effect on promoting health and wellbeing through improving the sleep habits and routines of K-12 students.
