National Center on Sleep Disorders Research (NCSDR):"The National Center on Sleep Disorders Research (NCSDR), located within the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), was established in 1993 to combat a serious public health concern. About 70 million Americans suffer from sleep problems; among them, nearly 60 percent have a chronic disorder. Each year, sleep disorders, sleep deprivation, and sleepiness add an estimated $15.9 billion to the national health care bill. Additional costs to society for related health problems, lost worker productivity, and accidents have not been calculated. Sleep disorders and disturbances of sleep comprise a broad range of problems, including sleep apnea, narcolepsy, insomnia, parasomnia, jet-lag syndrome, and disturbed biological and circadian rhythms." ******************************************************
National Sleep Foundation (NSF):"Sleep is vital to our health and well being. Yet millions of us are cutting ourselves short on the amount of sleep that we get or suffer from other sleep problems. For example, surveys conducted by the National Sleep Foundation reveal that 60 percent of adults report having sleep problems a few nights a week or more. In addition, more than 40 percent of adults experience daytime sleepiness severe enough to interfere with their daily activities at least a few days each month - with 20 percent reporting problem sleepiness a few days a week or more." ******************************************************

Sleep Research Society:"The [Sleep Research Society] began in 1961 when a small group of "new" (polygraphic) sleep researchers decided to meet to share ideas and abstracts. In late 1962, an official central "communicator" was selected: Joe Kamiya became the first Secretary-Treasurer. There were no other officers. This society of scientists did not have a formal name until 1964, when they adopted the name "Association for the Psychophysiological Study of Sleep (APSS). Through the 60s, 70s, and 80s, several distinguished scientists served as executives, from Charles Fisher to Roger Broughton, from Elliot Weitzman to Al Rechtschaffen, from Peter Hauri to Howard Roffwarg. It was not until the 1980s that the society changed its name to the Sleep Research Society.* (Incidentally, the acronym "APSS" has remained true to its roots: it has been adopted by the Associated Professional Sleep Societies , which is the partnership society of the SRS and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM)." ******************************************************
