The world over population is struggling to combat the specter of sleeping disorder. With over 20 million Americans getting affected with sleep apnea, Global health and wellbeing company Philips has reportedly announced a new sleep education resource for schools in order to cater to the needs of the most vulnerable section of the society, young children.

The collaborative partnership of Philips and the World Association of Sleep Medicine is expected to spread awareness regarding the impact of poor sleeping among the young children.

Responding to the program, Dr. Geoff Kira, researcher at the University of Auckland, claimed that young children are at a higher risk of getting affected with the impact of poor sleeping pattern as compared to the adults.

Moreover, the Philips Index for Health and Well-being report has cited that around 35% people are not aware about the potential impact of poor sleeping on the mental and physical well being of people.

Meanwhile, Sleep Medicine Specialist, Andrew Tucker, PhD, has reportedly confirmed a session on “Sleep Disorders 101” at Meadow Ridge, 100 Redding Road in Redding, CT to cater to the issues of sleep apnea.

In addition, Indiana University Health Ball Memorial Hospital has extended its services to a new facility to diagnose and treat people suffering from sleep apnea and other sleeping disorders.
