WHEN AND WHY WE CELEBRATED SLEEP DAY?

Every year on the third Friday of March, we celebrate the ‘World Sleep Day’. World Sleep Day® is an annual event, 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. It is organized by the World Sleep Day Committee of the World Sleep Society and aims to lessen the burden of sleep problems on society through better prevention and management of sleep disorders. World Sleep Day is a global awareness event held annually and hosted by World Sleep Society since 2008.
