The college experience is of great value in providing emerging adults with a structured environment in which they can gain knowledge, skills and independence to chart their own path, successfully become employed and contributing to society. However, this experience comes at a high cost. One potential barrier to maximizing college success is the high prevalence of sleep deprivation and irregular sleep patterns. Buboltz, Brown, and Soper (2001) reported that 15% of college students are dissatisfied with their sleep quality. Many factors can contribute to disturbed sleep habits in college students. All-night studying, late nights, partying, social obligations, work, and alcohol and/or drug abuse likely play a role. Research has indicated that poor sleep patterns in students are linked to increased tension, irritability, depression, confusion, and overall lower life satisfaction (Pilcher, Ginter, Sadowsky 1997). Students who sleep eight hours a night but shift their sleep-wake cycle by two hours experience increased feelings of depression, reduced affability, and difficulty concentrating (Taub, Berger 1974). Students who regularly sleep later at the weekend than during the week do not adapt to the time change but develop chronic problems with psychomotor slowing of concentration and also experience greater irritability
