San Diego, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/04/2014 --Though today’s busy, always-on culture often loathes rest, the necessity of better sleep habits is becoming increasingly undeniable. Studies from recent years link sleep with multiple aspects of health, happiness and safety, continuously highlighting the importance of this basic function. Sparked by estimations that sleep problems affect up to 60% of Americans at some point, rest is becoming an important focus of public health campaigns as well.
