201 | 10 Ways To Ruin Your Sleep

What to Expect:

We ask such questions as “who holds the record for the longest time without sleep?” “Why is sleep important?” and “How can we screw up our sleep for good?” A high school student for a science fair project, because otherwise, we die, and alcohol and a bunch of other things. We count down the top 10 ways to ruin your sleep which doubles as a recommendation for how to avoid ruining your sleep and how to sleep better. It’s a blast!
