Dear Colleagues,
Sleep problems don't always get the attention they deserve despite the fact that sleep complaints are common. Research indicates that at least 10% to 15% of the general population suffers from chronic insomnia and that 20-40% of adults have had sleep problems within the last year. Today's newsletter focuses on a variety of sleep issues.
Please feel free to forward this information to professional colleagues, who can sign-up for a free subscription to Friday's Progress Notes at http://www.athealth.com/Practitioner/Newsletter/fpn_subscribe.html
