Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control has deemed insufficient sleep to be a public health problem. Knowledge about sleep, skills to screen sleep disorders and providing interventions to promote sleep health have been recommended for therapists. Many therapists are aware that sleep is important for health and for the proper functioning of the body, including immune function, tissue healing, pain modulation. Studies have shown that sleep has a significant impact on cardiovascular health, cognitive function, and learning and memory. Sleep disruptions occur across the life span and are higher in individuals with various conditions that are typically treated by rehabilitation professionals. Dysfunctional sleep is one of the most common complaints among those with neurological impairments, geriatric patients and those experiencing pain. Published literature is increasing with evidence showing chronic insufficient sleep contributes to the development of many health problems, including hypertension, cardiovascular disease, obesity, depression, cancer and diabetes. Sleep deprivation is associated with increased risk of accidents, injuries, and falls.
