Tucson, AZ ; December 1, 2005 – Seventy-six
percent of Americans report having difficulty sleeping
at least a few nights each week. Overdependence on caffeine
and sleeping pills combine to make sleeping difficulties
a crisis in American health.
Increasingly Americans are finding that the sleeping pill
approach is failing to solve their sleep problems. And because
of a serious shortage of sleep medicine specialists, the
majority of people with sleep problems remain undiagnosed
and untreated.
Now, with the release of The
Sleep Advisor™ - a computer
program that evaluates sleep using the same methods employed
by sleep specialists, consumers have an alternative. The
program provides immediate results with extensive personalized
recommendations for improving sleep and is intended for use
by consumers in the privacy of their own homes. For less
than the cost of one month’s supply of sleeping pills,
the program provides a thorough sleep health screening and
comprehensive recommendations for addressing sleep problems.
“Sleep disorders, such as insomnia, apnea, and insufficient
sleep are the most prevalent health concern in the U.S. ” Naiman
said. “We want people to know that there are proven,
effective, and user-friendly alternatives. The
Sleep Advisor is not a simplistic health screening device. It is an expert
system that utilizes sophisticated diagnostic formulas derived
from the practice of sleep medicine.”
The Sleep Advisor is the result of
a10-year collaboration between C. Roger Smolin and Rubin
Naiman, PhD, the sleep specialist and clinical assistant
professor of medicine in Dr. Andrew Weil’s world-renowned
Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona.
Smolin brings 30 years of experience in creating expert
systems and consumer-based software to the design of The
Sleep Advisor. Naiman founded the sleep health program at
the world-famous Canyon Ranch Health Resort, is a sleep consultant
at the Miraval Resort near Tucson , and is a member of the
American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
