    Open AccessC Semsarian, Caitlin R Semsarian et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    University students consistently report poor sleep. We conducted a before-and-after study to evaluate the impact of an online 10-week course on undergraduate students' sleep knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours at 6-month follow-up. Data were collected via baseline course surveys (August-September 2020) and follow-up surveys distributed via email (February-March 2021). n = 212 students completed baseline surveys and n = 75 (35%) completed follow-…
