Sleep deprivation is becoming an epidemic around the world, especially given the state of the worldwide economy. "Sleeplessness" is now the third biggest health complaint in the world after headache and cold, and there are currently over 80 known kinds of chronic sleep disorders. There is even a new term in the popular press called "economic insomnia." More than 1 in 4 Americans say anxieties about personal finances, the economy, or a job loss kept them awake in the previous month, according to a March 2009 poll by the National Sleep Foundation.
Learning the benefits of sleep, and arming yourself with the tools to improve your sleep habits, are the first steps in achieving Sleep Fitness™.

Sleep Fitness is the ability and process to feel your best through the power of sleep. To help you reach your Sleep Fitness goals, we've created the 7 Step Sleep Fitness Program which targets each of the 7 Sleep Stealers™. This is a comprehensive program for your sleep, just like a fitness program would work on cardio training, muscle strengthening, nutrition, and flexibility.
Just as your sleep quality can influence how well you work, think, look, and interact during the day, what you do during the day can impact your sleep. There are 7 major categories of factors that have been shown to decrease sleep duration and quality:
Health Issues - Anxiety and stress
- Disruptive bedroom environment
- Inconsistent sleep schedule
- Stimulating nighttime activities
- Poor sleep diet
- Bedmates, kids and pets
