How are you sleeping

Unfortunately, sleep is sometimes given a low priority in modern life, taking a back seat to our busy schedules and lifestyles. Yet, as scientists in the field of sleep medicine continue to discover, sleep is a dynamic activity in its own right that is as essential to good health as diet and exercise, and as necessary for survival as food and water. Sleep research continues to expand and attract more notice from scientists and clinicians alike. However, more research and public education are needed to make sleep a top health priority.
