About the National Sleep Foundation


The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) is an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to improving public health and safety by achieving understanding of sleep and sleep disorders, and by supporting education, sleep-related research, and advocacy.

Established in 1990, NSF relies on voluntary contributions as well as grants from foundations, corporations, government agencies and other organizations to support our programs.

The goals of the National Sleep Foundation are to ensure that:

  • Americans prioritize sleep for optimal health and safety.
  • Americans recognize sleep problems and seek effective treatment.
  • Public and private institutions operate in a manner consistent with optimal sleep for human health and performance.
  • The incidence of drowsy driving is reduced so that it is rare and an exception.
  • New sleep discoveries are made that optimize public health, detection and treatment of sleep disorders, and public health interventions.
