About this lesson
Real-life data evaluation
This lesson uses real-life data from the Oxwell Student Survey to explore the relationship between sleep and mental health, and the optimal length of time that students should sleep for each night.

Students are asked to apply what they have learnt about key sleep strategies in a variety of real-life case studies. …
