1. The topic of a new course at Mansfield , OH Senior High School is one that teenagers across the country are having trouble with: How to Get to Sleep. Sleep training is no longer just for newborns. Some schools are taking it upon themselves to teach teenagers how to get a good night's sleep. Do you agree there should be a course to help students learn how to sleep better?

2. Adolescents burning the midnight oil is nothing new; teens are biologically programmed to stay up later as their circadian rhythms shift with puberty. But studies show teenagers are more sleep deprived than ever, and experts believe it could be playing a role in the youth mental health crisis and other problems plaguing schools, including behavioral and attendance issues. Do you think better sleep could reduce issues like mental health or behavioral problems in youth?

3. Research increasingly shows how tightly sleep is linked to mood, mental health and self-harm. Depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts and behavior go up as sleep goes down. Do you find your mental health is worse if you don't have good sleep?

4. An in-class survey of the 90 students across five classes in the high school foundover 50% go to sleep while looking at their phones. Do you go to sleep while looking at your phone?
