World Sleep Day (the Friday before the northern hemisphere (vernal equinox) is an annual event organized by the World Sleep Day Committee of the World Sleep Society, formerly World Association of Sleep Medicine (WASM), since 2008. The goal is to celebrate the benefits of good and healthy sleep and to draw society's attention to the burden of sleep problems and their medical, educational, and social aspects, and to promote the prevention and management of sleep disorders.
This
year, World Sleep Day falls on March
15 and focuses on ‘Sleep Equity for Global Health’. This theme highlights
how important sleep is for overall health and brings attention to differences
in sleep health among different groups of people.
