Dr. Alaa El-Gendy and Florida Lung & Sleep Associates are inviting the public to attend National Sleep Awareness Week in Lehigh Acres.

It is an annual public education and awareness campaign to promote the importance of sleep.

National Sleep Awareness Week starts this week and ends with the clock change to Daylight Saving Time on March 11 when we lose an hour of sleep, El-Gendy said.

This free event is located in Lehigh Acres through March 9, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. providing free sleep screening and education to the public, he said.
