When was World Sleep Day established?
World Sleep Day was established in 2008 by the World Sleep Society to raise public awareness of the importance of good quality sleep and the impact of sleep disorders on people's lives.

In addition to reminding us to rest, "Sleep Day" is an opportunity to learn and be informed about the consequences of improper sleep on our health.

- Productivity and Performance: Good sleep increases productivity and performance at work.
