College students often don't understand the importance of sleep to their mental, physical, and overall health. Individuals in this age group require approximately nine hours of sleep per night, but most students report receiving only between seven and eight hours of sleep (Forquer, 2008). According to a survey by the American College Health Association, distributed across 33 universities in the United States, both men and women rated sleep difficulty as the third most common barrier to their academic performance (Forquer, 2008). Even though college students get an adequate amount of sleep, it is difficult to determine whether sleep is consistently "good" or "bad." Good sleep is qualified by deep, uninterrupted sleep patterns; bad sleep is seen as sporadic or interrupted sleep. A study by the National Sleep Foundation reported that an average of 40% of Americans have difficulty falling asleep or wake up multiple times during the night; this is indicative of “bad” sleep (Forquer, 2008).
