Efforts Are On to Cure Unslept Zombies
The Better Sleep Council (BSC), as part of its Stop Zombieitis! campaign to inform the public about the sleep deprivation epidemic gripping America, has designated Friday, May 20, as the official “Stop Zombieitis!” Awareness Day.
Beginning at midnight on Friday morning, the BSC will begin a grass-roots effort to identify and locate, through social networks, those who complain of the symptoms of Zombieitis.
A few of these symptoms include “feeling like death,” exhaustion, irritability, and a slow gait. The BSC will contact “unslept” zombies online and provide them with information about the Zombieitis epidemic and its cure.

By reporting a sighting, the user will be entered to win a $100 Visa gift card, in hopes that they will apply this towards the Zombieitis cure – a quality mattress.

According to the National Sleep Disorders Research Plan, 20 percent of Americans sleep less than six hours each night, and this can lead to mistakes in the workplace, costing American businesses billions of dollars each year.
The BSC will be working non-stop today, May 20, and beyond to diagnose and cure the sleep deprived zombies.
