Hvil® Educational Course | Gain insight into sleep problems in young people

Wellbeing through sleep

Sleep is a growing problem among young people, with approximately 25% of 15-25 year olds struggling with sleep on a daily or weekly basis. We want to change this trend and invite you to join us on the journey.

Sleep affects our mood, energy levels and ability to cope with stress. Lack of sleep can lead to irritability, anxiety and even depression. It can also affect their ability to regulate emotions and make healthy decisions.

By prioritizing wellbeing through sleep, schools can help ensure children and young people get the rest they need, contributing to their physical and mental wellbeing.

It's an investment in the next generation and their ability to thrive both at school and in their personal lives.

Sleep, Learn, Repeat!

The programme we offer is a research-based digital programme in the Hvil® app that is at eye level with young people.

During the four weeks, students work daily with sleep through the Hvil® app and along the way, a sleep specialist from the Centre for Children and Young People's Sleep can come to the school and work to involve students in taking responsibility for their sleep habits with lots of games, good advice and motivation.

Four weeks of sleep on the school timetable

Throughout the four-week programme, students are introduced to four themes:

Week 1: The good sleeping environment
Week 2: Screen time
Week 3: Tankero
Week 4: Sleep as a superpower

In addition, students will be required to keep a daily digital Sleep diary that gives them insight into their own sleep and sleeping habits. By taking a few minutes a day to record their sleep, students will be able to track their progress throughout the programme.

Together, we can transform the school into a place filled with happy, well-rested young people ready to conquer the world.

With this project, I've become aware of how little I sleep. And I'm better at not looking at a screen before I go to bed.

Student

I realized that I wasn't sleeping enough based on my low scores in the app. Now, I care more about whether I'm getting enough sleep, and I can feel that I am fresher and more rested.

Student

I still go to bed at 10 pm. But now, I turn of my phone an hour before bedtime, which I didn't do before.

Student

I now go to bed at 9:30 pm instead of 10 pm and wake up in the morning feeling rested.

Student

I really feel like I'm making an effort now that I've actually gotten some sleep

Student

I feel like you're in a much better mood when you arrive, and maybe it's because you've had the sleep you need

Student

You learn more because you are more fresh (...) and you can remember what you learn.

Student

My parents think I'm much happier and feel better that way.

Student

We have more energy for each other (in class) and our social battery is recharged

Student

Before the Hvil® app, it was hard to concentrate in the morning because you had just gotten up and then you're sitting in class. But with the app, I think it's gotten better because you can concentrate in class.

Detailed class reports for sleep and screen time with Hvil®

As a central part of the Hvil® app, it is possible to generate detailed reports at class level after the programme, showing the development in screen time, sleep length and sleep quality, among other things.

The reports make it possible to measure the effect of the programme and evaluate the students' screen and sleep development.
