Sleep Strategies for Law Enforcement

In this presentation, Dr. Stephen James from Washington State University's Sleep and Performance Research Center discusses the impact of sleep on law enforcement officers and offers actionable tips to improve sleep quality. The strategies outlined can serve as practical changes to implement during your sleep experiment.

Mini Sleep Experiment

Instructions: Commit to a week-long sleep improvement experiment. Choose one habit to change (e.g., no screens before bed, consistent bedtime, or a short nap). Reflect daily:

• Did I stick to my plan?
• How do I feel today compared to yesterday?
• After a week, write about any noticeable changes.

Reflection Goal: Experience firsthand how small adjustments can improve rest and overall well-being.
