Sleep Resources
Sleep, like nutrition and physical activity, is a critical component of health and well-being. Insufficient sleep and poor sleep quality have been associated with numerous chronic diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. Those who get enough sleep typically have better weight control, more energy, and a stronger immune system.

GatorCare has compiled resources to help you improve your sleep habits and live a healthier life. Participate in our 28-day sleep challenge, view a webinar on sleep health, or read more about sleep disorders and commonly asked questions at SleepFoundation.org.
