Everybody loves World Sleep Day. This day was first held in 2008 by the World Association of Sleep Medicine (WASM). Its aim is to advance the health benefits of sleep worldwide. WASM wants to promote and encourage education and research into sleep, and the importance it has as a therapy in recovering from illnesses. Dr. William C. Dement, a WASM spokesperson, said World Sleep Day will “hopefully will be an event that is successful and will continue in the foreseeable future. Everyone needs to understand how important sleep is, and how sleep is so important for a healthy life”. WASM’s website says “sleepiness and sleeplessness 2 is a global epidemic 3 that threatens health and quality of life”. Its logo is “Sleep well, live fully 1 awake.”


Sleep is a basic bodily and mental need. We all need to sleep, although the number of hours differs from person to person. Doctors do not know why sleep occurs, but they do all agree that it is essential for our survival. Without enough sleep, the body can die. For many of us, sleep is one of the biggest pleasures in life. Indeed, many people list sleeping as a hobby! Sleep refreshes and energizes 4 us and restores our brain into top working order. Sleep is also quite complicated. One-third of adults have problems sleeping and suffer from insomnia 5. There are over 80 sleep-related disorders 6. Other people are lucky and have no problems at all getting off to sleep. Some people sleep as soon as their head hits the pillow. Do you sleep well?
