Bill > HRes235

This resolution recognizes the critical importance of sleep health and supports the designation of the week of March 9-15, 2025, as "Sleep Awareness Week". The resolution highlights several key facts about sleep, including that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends adults get at least seven hours of sleep per night, while 35% of adults currently sleep less than that amount. It notes that sleep deprivation can lead to numerous short-term and long-term health problems, including impaired memory, increased stress, higher risks of diabetes, stroke, heart disease, and mental health issues. The resolution also acknowledges disparities in sleep health, such as Black Americans being less likely to get adequate sleep. By formally recognizing Sleep Awareness Week, the resolution aims to encourage public health officials, healthcare providers, educators, and individuals to prioritize sleep health, practice good sleep habits, and discuss sleep-related concerns with healthcare providers. Additionally, the resolution underscores the ongoing importance of developing policies to improve overall sleep health for the population.
