Aloha Sleep Friday!
World Sleep Day exists to highlight and celebrate the importance
of quality, healthy sleep. It has the goal of bringing attention
and awareness to sleep problems and disorders, while promoting
prevention and management of them, in order to reduce them in
society. Other related goals of the day are to increase research
of sleep medicines and to come to a better understanding of
sleep conditions. Up to 45% of the world's population has a
sleep problem, and most of these problems can be prevented or
treated, but only about one in three people seek treatment.
