World Sleep Day is observed annually on the third Friday in March. This year it falls on the 17th. World Sleep Day is observed to highlight the importance of rest. It aims to lessen the burden of sleep problems on society through better prevention and management of sleep disorders. The fundamental mission of the World Sleep Society is to advance sleep health worldwide. It is intended to be a celebration of sleep and a call to action on important issues related to sleep, including medicine, education, social aspects and driving.

Importance of Sleep

Wondering why is there a day for celebrating sleep! Well, that shows how important sleep is for humans. Sleeping is a basic human need. Sleep is vital for our health and well being. Getting quality sleep at the right time helps protect our mental health, physical health, quality of life, and safety. When we sleep, our body works to support healthy brain function and maintain our physical health. A good night’s sleep helps the brain function properly and improves learning. It also helps to improve concentration and productivity. Low sleep quality increases the risk of heart diseases.

Sleep stages are divided into non–rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM). There are four stages of sleep:

  1. The first stage of the sleep cycle is a transition period between wakefulness and sleep.
  2. People spend approximately 50% of their total sleep time in stage two, which lasts for about 20 minutes per cycle.
  3. In stage three, deep, slow brain waves known as delta waves begin to emerge. This stage that is also referred to as delta sleep.
  4. In the fourth stage, we enter the REM mode. During this stage our brain’s activity most closely resembles its activity during waking hours but our voluntary muscles become immobilized.

Most research suggests that an individual should get between seven to nine hours of sleep every night for optimal health. Children and teenagers need substantially more sleep. A healthy diet and positive lifestyle habits can help one get adequate amount of sleep at night.

Sleep Deprivation and It’s Effects

Sleep deprivation is a condition that occurs if you don’t get enough or proper sleep. Getting less than 7 hours of sleep on a regular basis can eventually lead to health consequences that affect our entire body. Sleep deficiency can lead to physical and mental health problems, injuries, loss of productivity and many more problems. Ongoing sleep deficiency is linked to an increased risk of heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and stroke. Sleep deficiency also increases the risk of obesity. Sleep deficiency results in a higher than normal blood sugar level, which may increase your risk for diabetes. When we are deprived of sleep, our ability to focus on tasks, reflexes, and reaction times decreases. It weakens our immune system making us more susceptible to viral attacks.

Some signs of sleep deprivation are:

  • Excessive sleepiness
  • Fatigue
  • Frequent yawning
  • Reduced reflexes

World Sleep Day History

World Sleep Day was initiated by the World Sleep Society in 2008 to raise awareness about the importance of sleep. The primary objective of the World Sleep Day was to gather healthcare professionals from all around the world to interact and share information about importance of sleep.

World Sleep Day Theme

The theme for World Sleep Day 2022 is Quality Sleep, Sound Mind, Happy World. On World Sleep Day, all sleep professionals educate people about the importance of sleep for achieving an optimal quality of life and improving global health.
