Sleep is an integral part of human existence. We spend a third of our lives sleeping. Sleep influences our physical, psychological and social well being.
About 70 million Americans suffer from a sleep disturbance which may be comprised of a broad range of problems. Clinical research has found more than 80 different sleeping disorders. Poor sleeps contributes to high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and even an increase in accidents, yet it largely goes undiagnosed and untreated. Many sleep disorders cause an increase in daytime sleepiness and an increase in road traffic accidents.
