Our Impact

Sleep Is Public Health

Roughly one in three American adults doesn't get enough sleep. Insufficient sleep is linked to higher risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, depression, and cognitive decline.

Insomnia research is underfunded. Many of the most-cited studies on sleep onset, sublingual delivery, and herbal anxiolytics come from small academic groups working at the edge of grant budgets.

A portion of every Ostenso subscription helps fund insomnia research at a partner sleep-medicine institute. The goal: the next generation of evidence-based sleep tools, accessible to the people who need them at 3am.
