Sleep can be considered an underappreciated aspect of peoples lives. Poor sleep is heavily linked to weight gain, decreased concentration and productivity, increase the risks of heart diseases and strokes, is connected to depression, and can affect emotional and social interactions.
Disorders such as insomnia, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and night terrors can significantly change how people interact and live throughout their lives. Sleep problems have also contributed to a larger issue: a lack of understanding about health.
Sleep Awareness Week aims to highlight the importance of good sleep and educate people about how they can better improve their sleeping habits.
Founded by the National Sleep Foundation, Sleep Awareness Week gives people the opportunity to learn about why sleep is important, how good sleep can improve health and whether or not their sleeping habits may be a problem that needs to be checked on.
The importance of this holiday comes from the fact that while sleep medicine is considered to be a practice, many people don’t check up on what their sleeping habits can do to their health. Hence, the National Sleep Foundation each year takes this opportunity to give people seminars, informative brochures, and assessments about sleep to better improve people’s lives.
