World Sleep Day 2024: It may seem silly to discuss sleep at all because it seems such a natural part of life. However, for those with recurring sleep problems, getting enough sleep can be a real challenge and can have a significant impact on everything in their lives. It has been a banal, underrated aspect of people’s lives for many years now.
A primary objective of World Sleep Day is to assist those suffering from sleep disorders by considering and aiding them. By providing valuable resources to help people in their daily lives, it is useful for educating people around the world about the importance of sleep, as well as changing the way they perceive and experience sleep.
World Sleep Day 2024
World Sleep Day 2024 is set for Friday, March 15.
World Sleep Day 2024 theme: ‘Sleep Equity for Global Health’
World Sleep Day: History
The World Sleep Day movement has been taking place since 2008 in order to raise awareness of sleep and assist those suffering from serious sleep issues. As part of its annual celebration on the Friday before the Spring Vernal Equinox, over 70 countries participate in over 155 events held around the world.
The purpose of World Sleep Day is to raise awareness about the many issues related to sleep, sleep medicine, sleep education, and the social consequences of sleep deprivation. Sleep difficulties range from mild to severe, and they may have the ability to hijack people’s entire lives if not controlled.
Over 50 to 70 million Americans suffer from some type of sleep disorder. Over 25 million suffer from sleep apnea, and insomnia is the most commonly reported sleep disorder.
A group of health professionals and providers who were interested in sleep medicine and sleep research came together on this day, which the World Sleep Society’s World Sleep Day Committee organized.
A major goal of World Sleep Day is to bring people together to discuss sleep problems, help find solutions, and prevent sleep problems before they occur for those who do not yet suffer from them.
In addition to co-chairing World Sleep Day, physicians such as Liborio Parrino, MD, Italy, and Antonio Culebras, MD, established the World Sleep Society, a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting in funding research for the ever-pervasive problems associated with sleep in the modern world.
We work closely with various news organizations to spread the word about the consequences of inadequate sleep on day-to-day living. It’s about getting the word out and letting people know where to find help.
