Student Sleep Health Week Spotlight 💡

Our final Student Sleep Health Week spotlight is Dr. Tanner Bommersbach, MD, MPH, a child and adolescent psychiatrist and Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.

Dr. Bommersbach studies large-scale trends in adolescent sleep, depression, and suicidal thoughts. His research found that more than 3 in 4 high school students are not getting enough sleep. This decline has been driven by a growing number of students getting less than 5 hours of sleep per night.

His research highlights the need for population-wide approaches to promote healthy sleep for all teenagers.

Dr. Rojo-Wissar studies how stress affects sleep and, in turn, mental and physical health across the lifespan, including among college students. One finding that consistently emerges from her research is that stress often makes it more difficult to wind down and fall asleep at night.

Today's spotlight is Dr. Gina Marie Mathew, PhD, MA, a Research Scientist at Fordham University. Her research explores how sleep, digital media use, health behaviors, and life experiences influence health and well-being across development, with a particular focus on adolescents and young adults.

By integrating data from wearable devices, smartphone technology, surveys, and other health measures, her work helps identify strategies that support healthier sleep and well-being early in life and beyond.
