★ Pay attention to sleep health
The World Health Organization has designated March 2 1 day as World Sleep Day every year.
In order to arouse people's attention to the importance and quality of sleep, the International Foundation for Mental Health and Neuroscience launched the Global Sleep and Health Program in 20001year, and designated March 2 1 day as "World Sleep Day" every year. China Sleep Research Association officially introduced World Sleep Day to China in 2003.
World Sleep Day is set on March 2 1, because it is the first day of spring, and the periodicity of seasonal changes and the law of sleep alternation between day and night are closely related to people's daily life.
Sleep occupies a third of our lives. The World Health Organization (WHO) surveyed more than 20,000 primary health care patients in 15 bases in 4 countries, and found that 27% of them had sleep problems. Insomnia has a great negative impact on the quality of life, but a considerable number of patients have not been correctly diagnosed and treated.
Adequate sleep, a balanced diet and proper exercise are the three major health standards recognized by the international community. But people generally lack understanding of the importance of sleep. Animal experiments show that if mice don't sleep for more than 6 days, they will have symptoms of dyskinesia until the brain wave voltage decreases and disappears. Compared with mice, humans rely more on sleep. A person can live for 7 days only by drinking water without eating, and only for 4 days without sleeping.
According to the latest sleep survey released by China Sleep Research Association, the incidence of insomnia among adults in China is 38.2, which is higher than that in developed countries abroad. Medical research shows that occasional insomnia will lead to fatigue and uncoordinated movements the next day, while long-term insomnia will lead to inattention, memory disorder, inability to work and other consequences.
In addition, insomnia is closely related to physical diseases. Lack of sleep will reduce human immunity, reduce the ability to resist diseases and disease recovery, make people easy to catch a cold, and aggravate other diseases or induce the onset of original diseases, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, hypertension and other diseases. Practice has also proved that if patients do not sleep well after operation, the time for wound healing will be significantly prolonged. Children who are seriously deprived of sleep will affect their physical development. Because during sleep, especially during deep sleep, children's brains secrete the most growth hormone, which is the main substance to promote children's bone growth.
Speaking of World Sleep Day, we can't help but mention this group-China Sleep Research Association, which promoted a series of theme activities of World Sleep Day in China. This organization belongs to China Association for Science and Technology, and is the most authoritative professional organization in the field of sleep science and technology in China, and a national first-class social group. China Sleep Research Association has been committed to promoting the development of sleep medicine and sleep technology, guiding sleep consumption demand and promoting the overall progress of sleep industry. "Scientific Sleep Consumption" has been officially identified by the China Sleep Research Association as one of the themes of World Sleep Day in China in 2007. In 2007, with the support of China Association for Science and Technology, the Research Association launched the Healthy Sleep Promotion Project in China.
★ Place of origin
In order to arouse people's attention to sleep and health, the World Health Organization has designated March 2 1 day as World Sleep Day every year. Because this day is the first day of spring, the periodicity of seasonal changes and the law of alternating day and night sleep are closely related to our daily life. The focus of this activity is to arouse people's attention to the quality and importance of sleep. This year, the Chinese Medical Association also participated in this activity with the theme of "opening the window of the soul and paying attention to sleep together", and then launched a global sleep survey on the same day. China is responsible for the questionnaire survey of 654.38+00000 people in China, and the results are summarized to the World Health Organization. The global report will be released in the third quarter of this year. This activity was supported by Sanofi Saint-Deleuburg Group in France.
Entering the new era of science and technology in 2 1 century, people's health awareness has been improved unprecedentedly, and the new concept of "having health can have everything" has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, so the problem of sleep has attracted the attention of the international community. The World Health Organization investigated 259 16 patients in 14 countries 15 regions, and found that 27% of them had sleep problems. It is reported that the incidence of insomnia is as high as 32-50% in the United States, 65,438+00-65,438+04% in Britain and 20% in Japan.
Insomnia has a great negative impact on the quality of life, but a considerable number of patients have not been correctly diagnosed and treated. Sleep disorder has become a prominent problem that threatens the public all over the world.
In order to arouse people's awareness of the importance of sleep, in 20001year, the Global Sleep and Health Program sponsored by the International Foundation for Mental Health and Neuroscience launched a global activity, and the first day of early spring every year-March 2 1 day was designated as "World Sleep Day". The focus of this activity is to arouse people's attention to the importance and quality of sleep. "World Sleep Day" is set on the first day of early spring every year, because the periodicity of seasonal changes and the law of sleep alternation between day and night are closely related to our daily life.
In 2003, China Sleep Research Association officially introduced "World Sleep Day" to China.
