National Sleep Walk
A March 3 event won't be the cause of strife or political debate as it's an initiative everyone can and should get behind: the 3rd Annual National Sleep Walk.
The Sunday morning event draws attention to sleep health and sleep disorder awareness. It's a 2-mile walk from the Lincoln Memorial along the reflecting pool pathway.
As I've said before, sleep apnea awareness is growing in importance as millions are undiagnosed. I keep hearing of more people in my life who are going the CPAP route and taking sleep tests. I am proud of them for addressing their health despite their anxiety over the life change.
There's no better place than the nation's capital to draw attention to a cause. Let's hope officials are listening in this climate of health care cutbacks.
