Quality sleep is crucial for the proper functioning of our metabolism, our immune system, our mood, our learning… So the main objective of World Sleep Day is to highlight the importance of sleep and make visible the various problems associated with poor sleep.
This year’s World Sleep Day 2020 is presented with the slogan “A better sleep, a better life, a better planet”.
Why is World Sleep Day 2020 important?
The quality of sleep directly affects our health and quality of life. And the data are alarming, as it is estimated that about 45% of the population suffers from some type of sleep disorder. There are a multitude of sleep disorders, although the most common is insomnia, followed by restless legs syndrome and sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome.
Our immune system takes advantage of sleep time to regenerate, so quality rest is essential to strengthen it.
World Sleep Day 2020 is celebrated on the Friday before the March equinox, also with the idea of raising awareness of the importance of sleep-related problems and that they can cause serious health problems if not treated in time.
The date chosen for World Sleep Day was established by the World Association of Sleep Medicine (WASM) in 2008. The date chosen was the Friday before the vernal equinox.

Different activities are organized around the world, all focused on highlighting the importance of quality rest for our health.
