Sleep

According to the National Sleep Foundation, a little more than half of all Americans have trouble sleeping. Lack of sleep can lead to problems such as drowsy driving, missed work, and troubled relationships at home.  In addition, most children’s physicians feel that kids get too little sleep to do well in school or for healthy growth.  To get answers to all your sleep questions, visit our list of Recommended Sites.

Twenty-five percent of Americans are also at risk for life-threatening sleep problems like sleep apnea, a condition associated with stroke and hypertension.  PhillyHealthInfo.org is here to help you find support groups and sleep labs in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, or Philadelphia County. Our health services list in the blue box on the right side of the page is a good place to start.

For more information about sleep apnea and driving, listen to the following clip from Dr. Brian McDonough.
