Have you been "Sleeping Smart"?

According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Institute of Medicine (IOM), approximately 30 million Americans are affected by chronic insomnia each year. Sleeping Smart is designed to educate insomnia sufferers about the importance of a good night's sleep, proper sleep habits, help them understand the consequences of insomnia, and the safe and appropriate use of prescription sleep medications. The campaign will also motivate sleep-sufferers to talk to a healthcare professional to determine if treatment is appropriate.
