Earlier this week, we joined leaders, researchers, and policymakers at the CMS Quality Conference to discuss the future of health care quality. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine was there to ensure one critical message remained part of the conversation: sleep health is essential to overall health. As the health care landscape continues to evolve, we’re advocating for sleep to remain a priority in improving outcomes nationwide. #QualCon26

Good sleep isn’t luck—it’s built. 🍀 Healthy sleep is supported by consistent habits such as maintaining a regular sleep schedule, establishing a relaxing wind-down routine, and staying physically active during the day. These behaviors help regulate your body’s internal clock and improve sleep quality over time. If you’re struggling with ongoing sleep issues—such as trouble falling or staying asleep, or feeling excessively tired during the day—it may be time to seek help. A sleep professional can evaluate your symptoms and recommend appropriate treatment. 🔗 Find a sleep doctor today: hubs.la/Q0477wnD0 #SleepHealth #SleepMedicine #HealthySleep #SleepTips #StPatricksDay

The STOP-BANG Questionnaire is a simple set of yes-or-no questions that helps identify people who may be at risk. While it can’t diagnose sleep apnea, it’s a helpful first step in knowing when to talk with a health care professional about further testing. 💤 Learn how this quick screening tool works and what your results could mean for your sleep health. hubs.la/Q046MQ_y0

Sleep paralysis happens when your brain wakes up before your body fully exits Rapid Eye Movement (REM) Sleep, the stage when your muscles are naturally relaxed to prevent you from acting out dreams. The result? You’re awake but temporarily unable to move. Episodes usually last only seconds to a few minutes and often end on their own. While it can feel intense—especially if vivid dreams or hallucinations occur—isolated sleep paralysis is generally not dangerous. Learn more about why it happens and what it means for your sleep. 💤 hubs.la/Q046Myzb0

🚨The time change happens tonight 🚨 Daylight Saving Time disrupts the body's internal clock, and research shows the consequences go far beyond losing an hour of sleep. The spring transition is linked to increased rates of heart attack, stroke, mood disturbance, and traffic fatalities. The AASM advocates for permanent Standard Time — the schedule most aligned with human biology and long-term health. Together, we can #DitchDST ⌚ Learn more here: hubs.la/Q045XfRT0

Melatonin has become the default sleep solution for children and adolescents across the U.S. — often used without clinical guidance. But the combination of OTC availability, the absence of federal regulation, and a significant lack of pediatric trials raises serious questions that the field hasn't yet answered.

As we prepare to spring forward this weekend, we want to remind you of the AASM's position on Daylight Saving Time. It is the position of the AASM that the United States should eliminate seasonal time changes in favor of permanent ST, which aligns best with human circadian biology. Evidence supports the distinct benefits of ST for health and safety, while also underscoring the potential harms that result from seasonal time changes to and from DST.
