The topic of a new course at Mansfield Senior High School is one that teenagers across the country are having trouble with: How to get to sleep.
One ninth grader in the class says his method is to scroll through TikTok until he nods off. Another teen says she often falls asleep while on a late-night group chat with friends. Not everyone takes part in class discussions on a Friday; some students are slumped over their desks napping.
