The Huffington Post's co-founder Arianna Huffington has started a book tour that will include college campuses throughout the United States and focus on how much sleep students are gettting. This Sleep Revolution College Tour will take place in April and May, and is just in time when students burn the midnight oil preparing for final exams. Huffington wants to challenge the idea that college students must give up sleep to get good grades and have a good social life.

She explains that colleges have become a symbol of today's "burnout culture." It has had major effects on college students' physical and meatal health.    

Huffington notes that people often cut their sleeping hours because they feel that they lack enough time to get everything done. In fact, the HuffPost's editor-in-chief shares that lack of sleep is often viewed as a sign of success and something to brag about.

However, a study by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine shows the negative effects of all-nighters are a strong sign of future academic problems. In fact, students who get less than five hours of sleep per night are more likely to store wrong information in their memories, according to The Huffington Post.

The HuffPost sleep tour started on April 8, Friday at Georgetown University and the University of Denver. Other schools in the tour include the University of Southern California, University of California at Berkley (USB), and Stanford University.  

HuffPost twill host "sleep fairs" to teach students how they can improve their sleep habits. Select schools will also feature a virtual reality experience called Sleep Number.

The Huffington Post is also teaming up with Uber to highlight the dangers of getting behind the wheel when drowsy. Toyota will offer $15 discounts on an Uber ride either to or from a campus  Huffington visits.  

Huffington's new book 'The Sleep Revolution" was inspired after she collapsed due to sleep deprivation and broke her cheekbone on a desk, according to NPR. She wanted to study how millions of Americans do not notice they are sleep-deprived.

Huffington points out that more people working 24/7 has very bad results in terms of employees' health and output, and company profits.
