🌙SleepHealth Ambassadors: Empowering Youth Through Sleep Education

Welcome to the SleepHealth Ambassadors page, where kids and teens become champions of healthy sleep!

SleepHealth Ambassadors are trained peer educators who lead engaging, age-appropriate workshops on the science and importance of sleep. They educate participants on the benefits of healthy sleep habits, practical strategies for improving sleep hygiene, and the short- and long-term effects of sleep deprivation.

Through interactive presentations and hands-on activities, ambassadors translate complex sleep health concepts into accessible, relatable lessons for learners of all ages. Whether in classrooms, clubs, or community events, they foster meaningful conversations and inspire healthier sleep behaviors.

Whether you’re a student, educator, or parent, join us in building a culture of sleep awareness—one dream at a time.

Meet our 2025-2026 SleepHealth Ambassadors!
