About World Sleep Day

World Sleep Day is celebrated annually on the Friday before Spring Vernal Equinox of each year - to raise awareness of sleep as a human privilege that is often compromised by the habits of modern life. While this year the day falls on March 17, in 2024, the day will be observed on March 15.

World Sleep Day was first observed in 2008 by the World Sleep Society (WSS) - a non-profit organisation with a group of dedicated healthcare providers and members of the medical community working and studying in the area of sleep medicine and research, to promote and advance sleep health worldwide.

According to WSS, the day intends to celebrate sleep and create awareness about its importance, sleep-related issues that affect the health of individuals.
