REFRESH: The science of sleep for optimal performance and well being

REFRESH is an 8-week email delivered sleep-health program for college students. It was developed by Mickey Trockel MD. PhD. and Rachel Manber PhD. in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University. The REFRESH program is based on CBT strategies for insomnia and poor sleep quality. It offers a cost-effective way for students with poor sleep quality to improve their sleep and research shows it also reduces depressive symptom severity.
