WORLD SLEEP DAY 2024

15 MARCH
WHAT IS WORLD SLEEP DAY?
Since 2008, the World Sleep Society, formerly known as the World Association of Sleep Medicine, has arranged World Sleep Day, an annual event.
HISTORY OF WORLD SLEEP DAY
 Since its founding in 2008, World Sleep Day has been observed on the Friday preceding the vernal equinox in the northern hemisphere. An enthusiastic group of doctors and researchers in the field of sleep medicine started the yearly awareness campaign.
SIGNIFICANCE OF WORLD SLEEP DAY
The purpose of World Sleep Day is to refute this notion and encourage good sleep hygiene globally. It highlights the significance of adhering to appropriate sleeping practices and how they affect our general health and well-being. It also strongly emphasizes getting the recommended amount of sleep.
BENEFITS OF SLEEPING
A person's mood can be improved by getting enough sleep, which revitalizes the body and boosts vitality.
Good sleep is beneficial to heart health. Heart rate slows and blood pressure drops when you sleep. This implies that the heart and circulatory system can relax as you sleep.
Stress management can be aided by getting enough sleep each night. Anxiety, sadness, and other stress-related mental health issues can all be lessened with adequate sleep.
