SleepQuest - About Us - President's Welcome

Thank you for visiting the SleepQuest web site. Our goal is to provide you with a powerful resource and help you acquire knowledge about the vast field of sleep medicine.

As we begin the new century we find ourselves in a 24 hour culture that is sleep-deprived and lacking even the most basic understanding of how sleep affects our daily lives. It is personally disappointing to note that fewer than 5% of people with sleep disorders are diagnosed and treated. My vision is to increase that to 50%. My belief is that the only way to reach those millions who are suffering in silence is through massive education of the general public about the importance of sleep disorders and fatigue management. This must be accompanied by simple and cost-effective ways to diagnose and treat a wide range of sleep disorders. SleepQuest is working diligently to achieve both objectives.

I realized early that I could not undertake this daunting task alone. I expressed my vision to Dr. William Dement, considered to be the father of modern sleep medicine. He smiled and said "this is what I have devoted my entire adult life to achieving". Since then, he has joined SleepQuest as our Chief Scientific Advisor, and together we have been working steadfastly to achieve our mutual goals. I invite you to read his periodic column and his new book, The Promise of Sleep. They will provide you with major insights and practical knowledge about the importance of sleep and its effect on our daily lives.

Could you be one of the 40 million people suffering from a sleep disorder and not be aware of it? Go to our sleep questionnaire, answer a few questions and receive a free analysis of the data. Or, visit our Pillow Talk Chatroom and chat with others about their sleep disorder experiences, problems and treatments.

I invite you to explore our site and use it to educate yourself, your family, your friends and even your doctor. Feel free to send us feedback or suggest new topics and additional features. I appreciate your interest and hope that we can increase your knowledge about the importance of sleep and its role in your life and the lives of those you care about.
