What does World Sleep Day mean? Which country put it forward?

★ Pay attention to sleep health

The World Health Organization has designated March 21st every year as" World Sleep Day "

In order to arouse people's attention to the importance and quality of sleep, the International Foundation for Mental Health and Neuroscience launched a global sleep and health plan in 21, which will be held on March 22nd every year. China Sleep Research Association officially introduced World Sleep Day to China in 23.

World Sleep Day is set on March 21st, because it is the first day of spring, and the periodicity of seasonal changes and the law of sleep alternation between day and night are closely related to people's daily life.

Sleep occupies one third of our lives. According to the World Health Organization, more than 2, patients in 15 bases in 14 countries were investigated, and it was found that 27% of them had sleep problems. Insomnia has a great negative impact on the quality of life, but a considerable number of patients have not been properly diagnosed and treated.

Adequate sleep, a balanced diet and proper exercise are three health standards recognized by the international community. But people generally lack understanding of the importance of sleep. Animal experiments show that if mice don't sleep for more than 6 days, they will have symptoms of dyskinesia until the brain wave voltage decreases and disappears and dies. Compared with mice, human beings are more dependent on sleep. A person can live for 7 days only by drinking water and not eating, but only for 4 days without sleep.

According to the latest sleep survey published by China Sleep Research Association, the incidence of insomnia among adults in China is 38.2, which is higher than that in developed countries abroad. Medical research shows that occasional insomnia will cause fatigue and uncoordinated movements the next day, while long-term insomnia will bring consequences such as inattention, memory disorder and inability to work.

In addition, insomnia is closely related to physical diseases. Lack of sleep will reduce human immunity, reduce the ability to resist diseases and recover from diseases, make it easy to catch a cold, and aggravate other diseases or induce the onset of original diseases, such as cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, hypertension and other diseases. Practice has also proved that the time of wound healing will be obviously prolonged if the patients after operation have poor sleep. Children suffering from severe sleep deprivation can affect their physical development. Because during sleep, especially during deep sleep, children's brains secrete the most growth hormone, which is the main substance to promote children's bone growth.

When it comes to World Sleep Day, we can't help but mention this group-China Sleep Research Association, which has promoted a series of theme activities of World Sleep Day in China. This organization belongs to China Association for Science and Technology, and is the most authoritative professional organization in the field of sleep science and technology in China, and a national first-class social group. China Sleep Research Association has been committed to promoting the development of sleep medicine and sleep technology, guiding sleep consumption demand and promoting the overall progress of sleep industry. "Scientific sleep consumption" has been officially identified by the China Sleep Research Association as one of the themes of World Sleep Day in China in 27. In 27, with the support of China Association for Science and Technology, the Research Association launched the China Healthy Sleep Promotion Project.

★ Origin

In order to arouse people's concern about sleep and health, the World Health Organization designated March 21st as "World Sleep Day" every year, because this day is the first day of spring, and the periodicity of seasonal changes and the law of sleep alternation between day and night are closely related to our daily life. The focus of this activity is to arouse people's attention to the quality and importance of sleep. This year, the Chinese Medical Association also participated in this activity with the theme of "Opening the window of the soul, paying attention to sleep together", and then launched a global sleep survey on March. China was responsible for conducting a questionnaire survey among 1, people in China, and the results were summarized to the World Health Organization. The global report will be released in the third quarter of this year. This activity was supported by Sanofi Saint-Drabourg Group of France.

In the new era of science and technology in the 21st century, people's health awareness has been unprecedentedly improved, and the new concept of "having health is everything" has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, so the issue of sleep has attracted the attention of the international community. According to the World Health Organization's survey of 25,916 patients in 15 regions of 14 countries, it is found that 27% of them have sleep problems. It is reported that the incidence of insomnia in the United States is as high as 32-5%, that in Britain is 1-14%, that in Japan is 2%, that in France is 3%, and that in China is above 3%, and that 5% of the students have insufficient sleep.

Insomnia has a great negative impact on the quality of life, but quite a few patients have not been properly diagnosed and treated. Sleep disorder has become a prominent problem that threatens the public all over the world.

In order to arouse people's awareness of the importance of sleep, in 21, the Global Sleep and Health Program sponsored by the International Foundation for Mental Health and Neuroscience launched a global activity, which designated March 21st, the first day of early spring every year, as World Sleep Day. The focus of this activity is to arouse people's attention to the importance and quality of sleep. "World Sleep Day" is set on the first day of early spring every year because the periodicity of seasonal changes and the alternation of day and night of sleep are closely related to our daily life.
