Together, we hope to spread ‘what works & where to find it’ … We LEAD
Leverage the Insomnia Hub & other social media to
Effectively promote ‘what works’ to
Accelerate consumer demand for best practices &
Disseminate the best science about Insomnia.
The Issue
Americans spend up to $107 billion a year on sleep, including 60 million scripts. Did you know that sleeping pills often don’t work or can be dangerous? Most of the 1 in 3 with insomnia don’t know that Doctors’ Guidelines say to first try the non-drug therapy (CBT-I). It seems like only the hype is heard – like ‘Ask your Doctor’ ads.
All in healthcare professions are urged to promote best practices using social media. Imagine if the entire community spoke up together in one place – over the hype … for what’s proven to work and where to find it.
