National Sleep Awareness Week


Woohoo!!!! It's National Sleep Awareness Week in the United States this week, March 3 to March 9. What a great idea to further raise awareness about the importance of sleep for everyone, the impact if you don't have proper sleep habits/hygiene, and the work being done to help with sleep disorders.
Nothing but good can come from this :-)

Sleep in the headlines

It is nice to see that the issue of sleep, or lack thereof, seems to be coming to the forefront. Just today I saw a piece on NBC News about the quality of sleep and adults. This seems to be the result of a recent CDC study that many media outlets are reporting on right now. The National Sleep Foundation website is also referred to quite often and looks to be a great resource as well. It is wonderful to see all this focus on a problem which afflicts millions of people.
