    Dear Professionals,

    Great Sleep Magazine seeks responsible partners/respondents in related sleep study. Launching a National Sleep Survey and we need your help!

    To better understand the adverse affects due to sleep disorders we are launching a nationwide sleep survey targeting our sleep deprived citizens. Your web-sites generally attract those with sleep problems. We would like to request permission to add the sleep survey link to your web-site.

    Our goal is to find out the overall commonalities in demographics and behavior characteristics of our nation of sleep sufferers. In return we will post a link to your web-site on highdesertpublishing.com and share all information regarding our findings. To assure confidentiality we will not track any e-mail addresses of respondents, just the blind responses.

    Survey Link:
    http://freeonlinesurveys.com/rendersurvey.asp?sid=51s5d9o1a4pgro7561317 . Please review and contact me with any questions, recommendations, or willingness to participation please contact as soon as possible.

    Thank You,
