La Jolla High’s Biomedical Innovations students worked directly with the Panda Lab at the Salk Institute to collect sleep data on themselves using special watches. They then took the data and asked a variety of questions related to sleep, activity and light exposure. Students then did the statistical analysis to determine whether their data was statistically significant and/ or trended in a certain direction. One significant finding was that students get 45 minutes more sleep the night before our late start compared to other school nights.
