Howard Dean said "Today, I rise to speak about Sleep Awareness Week, a week to remind us all of the importance of something we all need--a good night's sleep. Sleep Awareness Week and World Sleep Day are internationally recognized and bring awareness to sleep and its important impact on our health. The pandemic has taken a toll on all of us, including our sleep schedules. Increased anxiety and worries have made it harder than ever to get consistent and peaceful sleep. Despite this fact, it is important we consider the instrumental role sleep plays in keeping our bodies and minds healthy. A proper comprehensive view of good health must include the importance of rest. We all could use it. I look forward to working with my colleagues to ensure all American families, including 165,000 people in our country impacted by narcolepsy, have access to the healthcare they need. Sleep, wellness, and health must go hand in hand. ___________________
