Hailey Van Eck

Hi, my name is Hailey! I am a senior at VAHS and am also involved in a dual-enrollment program through MATC. I am one of this year’s sleep health ambassadors and I am so excited to be able to talk to kids about the importance of sleep. One fun fact I enjoy about sleep is that it’s essentially overnight brain maintenance—memory consolidation, emotional regulation, and decision-making all improve after deep rest. It’s not just sleep; it’s cognitive optimization.
