Sleep is considered crucial for a long and healthy life, with 53% of respondents in a recent survey ranking it as the most important behavior. However, despite this awareness, many people in El Paso and elsewhere fail to seek help for sleep problems. A survey of 30,000 people found that only 23% had sought professional help for their sleep issues.

This is a concern, as sleep disorders such as sleep apnea can go untreated for years. Further details on this issue are available from KVIA ABC-7, which has more information on the importance of addressing sleep problems and the resources available to those affected.
