As a doctor that treats Sleep Apnea and sees the toll that a lack of sleep plays on so many individuals, I thought it would be fun to pass this information on to you.
The National Sleep Foundation has designated the March 3-9 as National Sleep Awareness Week. As per their website:
“At midnight Sunday night, the National Sleep Foundation (NSF) will launch the 11th annual National Sleep Awareness Week® (NSAW). This award-winning, public education and advocacy campaign will focus intense media and policy maker attention on the importance of good sleep as well as the signs and symptoms of chronic sleep disorders that affect millions of Americans.
NSF’s annual National Sleep Awareness Week initiative is changing the way that Americans, policy makers and healthcare professionals view sleep and sleep disorders. NSF, in partnership with thousands of professional and patient volunteers, is making a profound difference in getting people treated and saving lives at home, in the workplace, and on the nation’s highways.
NSF’s education and policy initiatives have quickly gained momentum and despite many challenges, we are making significant and measurable progress in increasing recognition in Congress and the media that sleep and sleep disorders MUST be part of public health and disease prevention programs.”
