An interactive that gets your students thinking about medians, percentiles, and their own sleeping habits.

My students struggle with sleeping and are distracted by electronics. This interactive activity allows them to think about their sleep relative to norms regarding age and sex. It also dives deeply into how sleep changes over a person's lifespan, which is a topic suitable for non-static classes like Health or Developmental.

*You need a WaPo subscription or paywall buster to get to this interactive. Like this one! https://www.removepaywall.com/search?url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/interactive/2024/sleep-data-survey-americans/


Here is a quick interactive that a) lets your students see how well they sleep, in comparison to their demographic and b) think about median data and percentile data. 


1. Repursped, gently used data is really everywhere. This interactive uses data from the Census Bureau.

Which is a way to measure sleep, but not the only way.

2. Median and percentiles, y'all.
