WORLD SLEEP DAY – HOW IT BEGAN
World Sleep Day
(WSD) has grown steadily since its inception. The first WSD was held on March
14th 2008, under the slogan ‘Sleep well, live fully awake’. The 2009
WSD operated under the slogan “Drive alert, arrive safe” and had participants
from 13 major markets, including 49 separate articles, mentioning “World Sleep
Day”. 2010’s WSD slogan was “Sleep well, stay healthy” and experienced
continued growth of international coverage. The 2011 WSD slogan was “Sleep
well, grow healthy”—with emphasis on promoting quality sleep for all
ages. The 2012 World Sleep Day slogan was “Breathe easily, sleep well” held on
March 16, 2012.   The 2013
slogan is “good sleep, healthy aging” to be held on March 15, 2013.
WSD is an annual
event intended to be a celebration of sleep and a call to action on important
issues related to sleep. It 
is
organized by the World Sleep Day Committee of the World Association of Sleep
Medicine (WASM), and aims to lessen the burden of sleep problems on society
through better prevention and management of sleep disorders. The world sleep
day is on the Friday before the March equinoxes, and therefore, the date
changes each year.   The
following are future World Sleep Day dates:   2014 is March 14, 2014; 2015 is March 13, 2015; and
2016 is March 18, 2016.
