The Importance of Sleep |
|
While the importance of nutrition and
physical fitness has long been recognised,
the vital role that sleep plays in good
health is only recently being acknowledged.
|
| |
| |
 |
Sleep disorders affect nearly 44
million Americans, with an additional
35 million reporting occasional
problems, representing roughly 28%
of the U.S. population.
|
| |
|
|
Sleep disorders account for an
estimated $16 billion in medical
costs each year in the U.S.
|
| |
|
|
Doctors have described more than
70 sleep disorders, most of which
can be managed effectively once
they are correctly diagnosed.
|
| |
|
|
Prolonged sleep deprivation results
in severe symptoms that interfere
with work and social activities.
|
| |
|
|
Untreated sleep disorders can lead
to hypertension, Stroke and Cardiac
Failure.
|
| |
|
|
Drive fatigue is responsible for
an estimated 100,000 motor vehicle
accidents and 1,500 deaths each
year, according to the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration
in the U.S.
|
|

|
Embla wants more people to get the
help they need. This means providing not
only the best solutions to carry out a
sleep study, but also solutions that help
