Hi! I'm Aaron Blank, a PR & social media consultant in Seattle. Here I post media alerts, press releases, and information to help journalists and bloggers. I also mix and match things from my personal life. Click a link below. Stay and browse. Say hello.
This Thursday, @swedish, @gosleepseattle, @seattleblank (me) and @edboyle will be at Swedish Medical Center’s sleep center in Seattle hosting a ‘Sleep Up’, a live Twitter feed and a video stream of a online stream of a patient’s overnight sleep disorder testing experience. Doctors will be moderating the feed with a discussion around sleep issues/disorders and we will be including a variety of different graphs, feeds, sleep info, etc. into the stream. The session starts at 8 pm on Thursday, July 22, 2010 and ends at 8 am on Friday, July 23, 2010.
Why are we doing this?
More than 50 million adults in the United States have a chronic sleep disorder. Sleep disorders tend to cause daytime drowsiness, fatigue and distress, which can profoundly affect family life, workplace performance and driving safety. Drowsy driving crashes alone cause at least 1,550 deaths, 71,000 injuries, and $12.5 billion in monetary losses. Additionally, sleep disorders can impact a person’s health. Fortunately, sleep issues are treatable and curable.
Sleep issues can be embarrassing, and often people prefer not to talk about it. We’re hoping we offer these individuals an opportunity to discuss it openly, and online.
Here is the media alert: http://www.swedish.org/About/Swedish-News/Live-from-Swedish-Cherry-Hill--Sleep-Medicine-Asso and here is the page where the feeds will be shared: http://www.gosleep.com/night-in-clinic.htm.
I hope you tune in at least once during our all-nighter.
Kindly,
Aaron
