Each year, Project Sleep advocates for an official Congressional Sign On Letter that is sent to the Appropriations Committee asking them to prioritize support for sleep and sleep disorders public health, awareness, and research. Through activating our community to ask their U.S. House Representatives to “sign on” to this letter, we effectively communicate the need for this support to Capitol Hill.
This yearly letter creates momentum that is critical to advance sleep health, sleep equity, and sleep disorders at a national level.
Started in 2023, the Sleep Advocacy Champion award annually recognizes an individual who has worked to elevate the voice of sleep through federal and grassroots advocacy and public discourse. Each year, the award recipient is recognized for outstanding and significant contributions advancing the policy goals of Project Sleep and the broader sleep community.
Sleep Advocacy Champions are trailblazers and community leaders who lead by example and embody Project Sleep’s commitment to making progress for sleep health, sleep equity, and sleep disorders.
