World Sleep Day

The World Sleep Day (Friday of the second full week of March) is an annual event organized by the World Sleep Day Committee of the World Association of Sleep Medicine (WASM) since 2008. It is aimed to celebrate the benefits of good and healthy sleep and to draw society attention to the burden of sleep problems and their medicine, education and social aspects; to promote sleep disorders prevention and management. Through the World Sleep Day the WASM tries to raise awareness of sleep disorders and their better understanding and preventability, and to reduce the burden of sleep problems on society that constitute a global epidemic and threaten health and quality of life for as much as 45% of the world's population. Sleep is a special form of existence the body; it is no less complex than daytime alertness. Your body recharges during sleep, which makes you wake up with the feeling of freshness and energy. Public service advertising accompanies conferences and symposia on sleep-related health issues. Balanced diet and the correct organization of sleeping time are the prerequisites of physical and mental health for many years.
