Sleep Health®: Journal of the National Sleep Foundation® Celebrates 10th Anniversary

The Journal Marks a Decade of Advancing Sleep Health Research

WASHINGTON, March 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) proudly celebrates the 10th anniversary of its flagship journal, Sleep Health®, a vital publication dedicated to exploring sleep's role in population health and the social sciences perspective on sleep and health. In 2016, Sleep Health won the PROSE Award for Best New Journal in Science, Technology and Medicine from the Association of American Publishers.

Sleep Health features peer-reviewed research that promotes evidence-based practices aimed at improving sleep health for people of all ages and backgrounds. The journal has been instrumental in highlighting the connection between sleep and various health issues, including cognitive decline, immune function and mental health conditions. It has also played a key role in publishing research that informs global efforts towards sleep health equity.

Sleep Health's robust, interdisciplinary approach has provided vital knowledge and grown the body of evidence for researchers, public health advocates, and clinicians through an increasingly international lens.

"The journal's 10th anniversary is a milestone for the National Sleep Foundation and for the global sleep health community. Sleep Health has had a significant impact on expanding our understanding of sleep at the population level and its importance to overall health," said John Lopos, CEO of the National Sleep Foundation. "We want to recognize the contributions of everyone along the way who has made the journal's achievements possible."

"I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with a productive and engaged community of editors, authors, and researchers. As I step back into my role as an author, reviewer, and reader, I look forward to the journal's continued growth over the next ten years and beyond," said Orfeu Buxton, Sleep Health Editor-in-Chief. "I know that the journal will remain committed to its mission of improving sleep health for all and ensuring that sleep is recognized as an essential pillar of health and overall well-being."
