On Wednesday, Sept. 23, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and AASM President Dr. Nathaniel Watson participated with the CDC in a Twitter chat hosted by HuffPost Healthy Living to discuss the recent adult sleep duration consensus statement issued jointly by the AASM and the Sleep Research Society.

The #7andUp chat supported the National Healthy Sleep Awareness Project’s public awareness campaign urging adults to sleep 7 or more hours per night. Read a chat recap on Storify and learn more about the 7 and Up campaign at SleepEducation.org.
