The most frequently asked questions will be printed in subsequent editions of USA Today.
The week will also include a first-ever gala on March 26 in Washington, D.C., to honor people and organizations that have made significant contributions to the field.
Other co-sponsors include NASA, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
