  "textContent": "While sleep is essential to health, nearly half of adults (45%) have not discussed sleep with their health care professional, according to a new survey from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. The health care conversation gap is wider for women. According to the survey, women (49%) are more likely than men (40%) to have not discussed their sleep with any health professional. As a result, women are less likely to get specialist referrals, making women (9%) less likely to have discussed their sleep with a sleep specialist compared with men (21%).",
