Established in 1975, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) is the premier professional society representing the sleep medicine specialty. As the leading voice in the sleep field, the AASM sets standards and promotes excellence in sleep medicine health care, education, and research. The AASM has a combined membership of 11,000 accredited member sleep centers and individual members, including physicians, scientists, and other health care professionals. PRACTICE STANDARDS
The AASM develops clinical practice guidelines that provide evidence-based recommendations to promote patient-centered care. AASM accreditation also ensures the highest quality of medical care for patients who have sleep disorders. The AASM accredits sleep facilities that are providing exceptional patient care in communities across the country. The AASM also accredits independent sleep practices that perform home sleep apnea tests, ensuring quality in obstructive sleep apnea testing and treatment. EDUCATION
The AASM develops resources such as the International Classification of Sleep Disorders, which is the definitive diagnostic manual for sleep medicine, and The AASM Manual for the Scoring of Sleep and Associated Events. Physicians, advanced practice providers, and allied health professionals stay up-to-date on best practices in the field by attending AASM courses such as Sleep Medicine Trends, and the AASM partners with the Sleep Research Society to organize the SLEEP annual meeting, which brings together an international body of leading researchers and clinicians. ADVOCACY
The AASM advocates to promote patient-centered care, improve access to sleep care, raise public awareness, and enhance public safety. Key issues include the development of a Sleep Health Caucus, recognition of a National Sleep Health Awareness Month, Stark Law reform, drowsy driving, and school start times. The AASM political action committee (AASM PAC) also gives our members a united voice on Capitol Hill. STRATEGIC RESEARCH
The AASM Foundation is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) charitable and scientific organization that promotes discoveries to advance the understanding of sleep for healthier lives. The foundation has invested in the future of sleep medicine by supporting more than 200 awards totaling over $13.5 million in funding.

🦃 This Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for the power of sleep.
Gratitude isn’t just a warm feeling—research from Harvard and JAMA Psychiatry shows it may help older adults live longer. And emerging evidence suggests sleep might be the key to boosting those grateful feelings.
As you recharge today, remember: better rest can help nurture gratitude and support healthier aging.
Grateful people tend to have more positive thoughts and fewer negative or worrying thoughts when falling asleep, leading to better sleep.
