Students in a Baylor University class weren't sleeping enough. Their professor offered extra credit for eight hours of sleep or more -- they performed better on final exams than their peers. ihenow.com/2zMYr17

Thank you @IPSAPedSleep for a great conference in Paris 😊 Already looking forward to the next one! #IPSA2018
Interesting discussion around school start times. Judith Owens suggests that a 50 minute delay in start time > 30 min later wake time (sig). Depression score only health variable improved. Poor sleep, chronotype and risk behaviour needs further investigation #IPSA2018
