Sleep Health

A critical determinant of health and well-being

Sleep, like nutrition and physical activity, is a critical determinant of health and well-being, and a basic requirement for infant, child, and adolescent health and development. The Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion developed this resource to increase public knowledge of how adequate sleep and treatment of sleep disorders improve health, productivity, wellness, quality of life, and safety on roads and in the workplace. It reviews the importance of sleep health, demographics of those with sleep-disordered breathing (including apnea), and emerging issues in sleep health.
