      ab: Background: High school students often experience insufficient sleep, affecting their health and academics. While school-based sleep education programs show promise, their impact is often short-lived. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to explore the potential of a collaboratively designed, teacher-delivered sleep education program and to assess teacher and student sleep knowledge and behaviors. Methods: We developed a high school sleep education program with input from students to ensure relevance and impact, then evaluated its feasibility and acceptability among 33 high school teachers and 40 students, alongside assessments of their sleep knowledge and behaviors. Results: The final program was rated enjoyable (70%) and recommendable (95%) and teachers found it appealing (83%) and feasible (63%). Discussion: Significant gaps in sleep knowledge among students highlight the need for sleep education programs. Translation to Health Education Practice: This study supports school-based, teacher-led sleep education as a practical approach to addressing student sleep issues, with teachers viewing the program as feasible and expressing strong concern for student sleep, while recommending further training to enhance delivery and impact.
