Sleep health requires urgent inclusion in global public health agendas
In short: Researchers argue that sleep health is an essential pillar of wellbeing, yet it is rarely prioritized in national public health agendas, especially in developing countries. To address this, they suggest that sleep should be treated with the same importance as nutrition and physical activity.
The authors advocate for a global shift toward prioritizing sleep through education, standardized data collection, and targeted policies. They emphasize that these efforts must be equitable and inclusive to support socially and economically vulnerable populations.
Why it matters: Prioritizing sleep is as essential for health as nutrition and exercise.
