World Sleep Day
Celebrated on 15 MarchWorld Sleep Day is celebrated every year during the spring season (on Friday of the 2nd full week of March).
The approval of the holiday was facilitated by the International Association of Sleep Medicine with the direct participation of the International Sleep Day Committee.
They first learned about this holiday in 2008, when it fell on March 14th. Since then, conferences have been held on this holiday, social advertising has been intensified, and all sorts of events have been organized that highlight problems associated with violations of the rest and wakefulness regime. To attract people's attention, thematic exhibitions and art projects are organized with the participation of musicians, artists and other creative individuals.
Lack of sleep and insomnia have become a problem on a global scale, which was the primary reason for the adoption of World Sleep Day, because systematic disturbances of biorhythms reduce performance and make a person irritable. Thus, people of different age categories can pay attention to their lifestyle and receive information about the harmful effects of poor sleep on the cardiovascular and other systems.
Recharging during night rest is necessary for a person to accumulate energy and subsequent activities, because every new day requires both physical and mental activity. Various life situations and the desire to implement everything planned as quickly as possible force us to change the natural regime. Inadequate rest at night or its absence at all has a detrimental effect on the entire body, including the state of mind.
In order for the nighttime energy accumulation to be as effective as possible and to avoid feeling tired in the morning, you should not overeat before bed and drink alcoholic beverages. You shouldn’t systematically stay late at work; it’s best to go into the arms of Morpheus between 21.00 and 22.00. It is enough for a person to devote 7 or 8 hours a day to night rest. For the health and normal development of a child’s body, rest time should be increased to 10 hours.
Thanks to World Sleep Day, people can reconsider their sleep and wakefulness patterns and adjust them if necessary. Remember, a wonderful appearance and a great mood are impossible without full recharging at night!
