This panel will explore the causes and effects of sleep deprivation in students from a variety of perspectives. From the psychological and emotional health perspective, we will hear from one expert (Wichlinski) who researches the effects of sleep deprivation on college students and another expert (Muth) who deals with the applied aspects of this problem at Carleton. The panel will also explore the physiological effects of sleep deprivation and its social and academic causes with an expert on sleep medicine (Hoff). Finally, the panel will explore time management skills and best practices from an advising perspective with the views of an experienced adviser who has experimented with different techniques to enhance student sleep cycles (Barnhardt).
