We are so excited to launch our new web video series “I wish I knew then: Advice for Students”.

We’ve asked Sunnybrook’s expert staff in many health disciplines to reminisce about their school days, share some stories, and fill us in on the tips and tricks they’ve learned over the years that they wish they knew back then.

A huge thank-you to Vice-President of Education Dr. Joshua Tepper and Director of Nursing Education Leasa Knechtel who appear in our first video with some candid advice about (something that seems to be our favourite topic lately): sleep!

What do you think? Stay tuned for tips for a Sunnybrook sleep doctor for some practical tips on how to follow this advice. And, check back for more advice next week!

Who would you like to hear advice from? What about? Let us know!

According to Dr. Steven Park at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, a lack of shut-eye can be really harmful – to our grades, our decision-making abilities and more.

Read his whole blog post, complete with 5 tips Dr. Park says will help (along with studies to back him up), on the Albert Einstein College of Medicine Blog, “The Doctor’s Tablet”. And while he’s talking about med school in particular, same thing goes for all students in any health discipline!

So, how’s your sleep pattern? Are you managing 6-8 hours a night?
