This resolution recognizes the importance of sleep health and designates the week of March 9 through March 13, 2026, as "Sleep Awareness Week." The measure highlights that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends most adults get at least seven hours of sleep per night, yet about 35 percent of American adults sleep less than that, and notes that chronic sleep deprivation increases risks for serious health conditions including diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and depression. The resolution also points out that Black Americans may experience sleep disparities compared to white Americans and encourages public health officials, healthcare providers, educators, and parents to promote adequate sleep. While this is a symbolic resolution with no funding or enforcement mechanisms, it expresses Congress's support for the National Sleep Foundation's long-standing initiative to raise public awareness about the health benefits of good sleep habits.
