S:3 E12 Understanding Sleep Health ft. Dr. Kin Yeun
According to the National Sleep Foundation, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, and the Sleep Research Society, it is recommended that young adults get 7 to 9 hours of sleep 😴. However, due to the effects of the pandemic, excessive screen time from electronics and other factors, students' mental health, academic performance, school attendance, and physical well-being have been adversely affected. In our latest podcast, we held a virtual interview with Dr. Kin Yeun, a board-certified sleep medicine specialist and Associate Professor at UCSF. During the interview, she explored the sleeping habits in America, discussed how teens and young children have different internal clocks, offered tips on easing a child into a sleep routine, and much more.

I'm just a voter trying to find out as much as I can. Thank you both for this; it was professional, interesting and informative. Dena, I had no idea: thank you for all the service you have given our community, and you are so positive. Good luck to all the DHS staff in filling her shoes. All the best to you both! PS. And thank you for the picture, I immediately pictured her hair flowing while skiing when you said it!
