The 2023 Theme: Sleep Is Essential for Health

The theme for this World Sleep Day is Sleep is Essential for HealthJust like eating well and exercising, sleep is a behavior that is foundational to one's physical, mental, and social well-being. However, sleep is not yet commonly considered an essential behavior for good health. World Sleep Day is an opportunity to promote sleep health alongside thousands of other sleep health professionals and advocates. When we all promote sleep health and #WorldSleepDay together, our combined effort is greater than the sum of its parts. Spread the word about sleep health on World Sleep Day, and help elevate the conversation around sleep!
