Sleep isn’t just a luxury—it’s a vital pillar of health. Yet, for millions, quality sleep is far from guaranteed. That’s where Project Sleep comes in. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Project Sleep is on a mission to elevate the conversation around sleep health, sleep equity, and sleep disorders. Through innovative programming, storytelling, and education, this organization is helping people understand why sleep matters—and how we can make it more accessible for all.

Empowering Through Education and Community

Project Sleep brings people together through events, campaigns, and programs that foster connection, knowledge, and action. Here’s a closer look at some of their standout initiatives:

Rising Voices: Sharing Stories, Raising Awareness

The Rising Voices program trains individuals with sleep disorders to become powerful advocates and storytellers. Participants learn to effectively communicate their experiences to healthcare providers, schools, local communities, and the media. It’s all about reducing stigma and shining a light on real stories.

Applications for this year’s Rising Voices training are now open! The 2025 summer training will be online from June 15 to July 20. Applications are due April 15. Enrolling in the program requires a $75 tuition fee. We welcome all applicants regardless of ability to pay.
