About Sleep Education

Sleep is essential to health. Along with a balanced diet and regular exercise, sleep is one of the pillars of a healthy lifestyle. Sleep also provides a boost for your mood, alertness and energy. It enhances your memory, creativity and performance. Getting healthy sleep on a regular basis also helps keep you safe by promoting optimal alertness. However, many people have a sleep disorder that prevents them from getting the healthy sleep that they need.

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine launched the Sleep Education website in 2005. The site has reliable information about sleep, sleep disorders, and treatment options. It is a valuable resource for patients who have sleep disorders. The site provides accurate medical and scientific insight in a concise manner that is easy to understand. It also provides facts that will be useful to anyone who wants to learn more about sleep.
