World Sleep Day is an annual, global call to action about the importance of healthy sleep. Created and hosted by the World Sleep Society, World Sleep Day is an internationally recognized awareness event bringing researchers, health professionals, and patients together to recognize sleep and its significant impact on our health. Today marks the 15th annual World Sleep Day with the slogan, “Quality Sleep, Sound Mind, Happy World.”

Getting a good night’s sleep for many is a natural activity that people can do. While rest may seem like the most natural thing in the world for people to do, many people may have sleep disorders and sleeping habits that they don’t know about, causing long-term consequences. Sleep Awareness Week is a holiday all about educating people about their sleeping habits and how they can effectively change the way they sleep.
