Sleep Work Play™ is a program dedicated to helping people take charge of their allergic asthma. The program resources are designed to provide allergic asthma patients information to help them live a life without limits. Sleep Work Play is a program designed by Better Control for Better Living (BCBL), a multidisciplinary coalition of leading healthcare professionals (HCPs) and patient advocates dedicated to promoting good control of asthma and allergic asthma. Members of this unique and diverse group have spent most of their lives caring for patients with asthma or living with asthma themselves. The panel first convened in 2004 to explore HCP-patient communication issues on asthma control, and developed specific, practical recommendations for improvement—Sleep Work Play and Sleep Learn Play.
