The National Sleep Foundation (NSF)'s Press Room is the online resource for writers and journalists to learn about NSF and our mission to promote good sleep health for all Americans.  NSF works in partnership with leaders in the fields of sleep science and medicine to raise awareness of the importance of sleep, treatment for sleep problems and the consequences of sleep loss.  If you would like to schedule an interview with an NSF expert, please contact us.
