NJ State Senator Steven Oroho, is there a law that requires an agency to take an individual to the doctor if he hasn't been receiving a lot of sleep?

Dear NJ State Senator Steven Oroho,

Hello! I hope that you and the loved ones are in good health. Good health is such a blessing from the good Lord, our Creator Lord! How is your spirit on this glorious day that the Lord has made? Please let me know if there is any law on the books that would prevent disabled individuals from being sleep deprived, and/or directs the caretakers (such as Willowglen Academy, or SCARC)to bring individuals to a doctor when they continually receive less than six, or seven, hours of sleep a night. I had worked for Willowglen Academy and they would, at certain group homes, try to keep individuals up at night (maybe 'till 11:30, or sometimes later) to try and get them to sleep through in the morning to maybe 6:30, or 7:00 am. Some of the individuals would still only receive five or six hours of sleep at night. These individuals, to the best of my knowledge, were not brought to a doctor to see if they had a medical condition that caused their shorter than normal sleep.

Please let me know if there is any law on the books that protects the disabled individual from sleep deprivation, and/or that requires the caretakers to take the individuals to a doctor when they continually receive less than an healthy amount of sleep. Thank you very much for all your help!

Hope that you and the loved ones have a joyous and peaceful day. May the good Lord, our Creator Lord, bless you and the loved ones with love, joy, peace, and patience!

Sincerely,
