Wake Up to The #SleepRevolution
with Arianna Huffington
After being called out, as only Arianna Huffington can gracefully finesse, for existing, essentially on "Mommy Magic" that even my sleep-deprived brain can neither define nor justify- I am going to sleep. (As soon as I complete this article at 3:39 AM EST).
Arianna defies the commonly held misconception that exhaustion is the price to be paid for accomplishment and success. Maintaining a competitive edge combined with the oversaturation of technological devices create the perfect recipe for global sleep deprivation at its finest.
Sleep affects every aspect of our lives, The Sleep Revolution explores sleep, from its recorded origins through the centuries to the mystery and dreams interpretation to today’s advanced studies of sleep science. Continually updated and improved new research reveals the value sleep bears on our health, happiness, job performance, and relationships.
Presenting scientific recommendations and expert tips on techniques useful for achieving better, more restorative sleep, The Sleep Revolution provides valuable insight. Arianna Huffington and the #SleepRevolution are bring about drastic, innovative changes to our thoughts and perceptions about the ways that we understand sleep.
The Huffington Post is also launching the #SleepRevolution College Tour at 50 campuses. The goal is to spark a national conversation, based on the latest science, about the importance of sleep and the dangers of sleep deprivation, which is at the heart of so many stress-related mental health issues in college. To help students embrace sleep as a performance enhancer rather than something to be avoided, HuffPost has partnered with major brands, including Sleep Number, Jawbone, JetBlue, Marriott, Spotify, Lands’ End, Sleep Shepherd and Headspace, to host “sleep fairs” to give students tangible tools and products to make changes in their lives and to learn better sleep habits. Arianna and leading sleep experts will be speaking at campuses around the country, and there will be major social media campaigns, as well as sleep-themed blog posts and videos on The Huffington Post from students and professors.
In addition, The Huffington Post, in partnership with Uber, is spearheading a campaign to generate awareness around the dangers of drowsy driving. Lack of sleep can lead to cognitive impairment that’s as dangerous as driving drunk. Drowsy drivers are involved in 328,000 accidents each year, 6,400 of which result in deaths. Through collaboration with road safety advocates, this movement aims to get drowsy people out of the driver’s seat. In addition to activating policymakers and government officials, the campaign includes a dedicated PSA, sleep kit giveaways, and partnerships with companies committed to providing Uber rides for employees who work before or after a certain hour.
Arianna Huffington is the cofounder, president, and editor in chief of the Huffington Post Media Group, and the author of fifteen books. In May 2005, she launched The Huffington Post, a news and blog site that quickly became one of the most widely-read, linked to, and frequently- cited media brands on the Internet. In 2012, the site won a Pulitzer Prize for national reporting. She has been named to Time magazine’s list of the world’s 100 most influential people and theForbes Most Powerful Women list. Originally from Greece, she moved to England when she was 16 and graduated from Cambridge University with an M.A. in economics. At 21, she became president of the famed debating society, the Cambridge Union. She serves on numerous boards, including The Center for Public Integrity and The Committee to Protect Journalists. Her book, Thrive: The Third Metric to Redefining Success and Creating a Life of Well-Being, Wisdom, and Wonder, debuted at #1 on the New York Timesbestseller list.
