The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) is dedicated to improving health and well-being through sleep education and advocacy. As the global voice for sleep health, NSF educates the public about the importance of sleep health through our annual Sleep Awareness Week® campaign.
What is Sleep Awareness Week?
Launched in 1998, Sleep Awareness Week is NSF’s national public education campaign that celebrates sleep health and encourages the public to prioritize sleep to improve health and well-being. The campaign commences with the beginning of Daylight Saving Time. NSF provides valuable information during Sleep Awareness Week about the benefits of optimal sleep and how sleep affects health, well-being, and safety. NSF also releases its annual Sleep in America® Poll results on the public’s beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors about a sleep-related topic.
We invite everyone to join us in promoting the importance of healthy sleep.
