World Sleep Day Promotes Healthy Sleep Habits Globally
世界睡眠日推動全球健康睡眠習慣
World Sleep Day is an annual awareness event held on the Friday before the March equinox.
世界睡眠日是一個年度性的宣導活動，於三月春分前的星期五舉行。
Organized by the World Sleep Society, it aims to highlight that sleep is a fundamental pillar of health, just as important as nutrition and exercise.
由世界睡眠學會主辦，旨在強調睡眠是健康的根本支柱，就如同營養與運動一樣重要。
Since its inception in 2008, the movement has grown significantly, with over 88 countries now participating to promote better sleep hygiene and reduce the stigma surrounding sleep disorders like insomnia and sleep apnea.
自2008年創立以來，這項運動已顯著成長，目前有超過88個國家參與，藉此推廣更好的睡眠衛生，並減少大眾對失眠與睡眠呼吸中止症等睡眠障礙的污名化。
Constant connectivity and busy schedules can lead to chronic sleep deprivation, which is linked to serious conditions such as heart disease and depression.
持續不斷的連線與繁忙的行程可能導致慢性睡眠不足，這與心臟病及憂鬱症等嚴重疾病息息相關。
Ultimately, the goal of World Sleep Day is to remind us that sleep is not a luxury, but a biological necessity.
最終，世界睡眠日的目標是提醒我們，睡眠並非奢侈品，而是生理上的必需品。
