Recognizing the importance of sleep health and expressing support for the designation of the week of March 9 through March 15, 2025, as "Sleep Awareness Week".
Sponsored By: Representative Dean, Madeleine [D-PA-4]
Introduced
Summary
Elevates sleep health as a public health priority. This resolution would designate March 9–15, 2025 as Sleep Awareness Week and promote evidence-based sleep practices. It cites CDC guidance that most adults need at least seven hours and notes that 60 percent report not regularly getting enough sleep while 35 percent average under seven hours. The text links short sleep to memory problems, stress, metabolic and cardiovascular risks, and worsened mental health, and urges public health officials, health care providers, educators, and parents to promote better sleep and address racial disparities affecting Black Americans.
