Jewel
Singer/songwriter Jewel is embarking on a new campaign helping Americans to keep dreaming, literally. The project, called "Sleep Better. Dream Bigger," is sponsored by www.sleepbetter.org and will consist of consumer education, advertising and events to raise awareness about the importance of a good night's sleep, CountryStandardTime.com reported.

"I know that times are tough, and it's easy to lose sight of your dreams," said Jewel. "I hope that through this project, I will be able to encourage people to keep reaching for their dreams."

The home base of the project will take place in Jewel's hometown of Stephenville, Texas, which will serve as the source for author Dan Gearino's "hopes and dreams" blog.

Jewel was approached for the project because of her own ability to achieve success. Sleepbetter.org said, "Her life and her career is about going after a dream. She's an encouragement for others to achieve her dreams."
