π World Sleep Day 2026 - 13 March 2026
β¨ Theme: βSleep well, live better.β
Sleep is not a luxuryβit is a necessity for health and wellbeing.
This World Sleep Day, we spotlight why sleep quality + sleep quantity matter, especially for children and adolescents.
πΉ Childhood Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA)
Our research has shown that untreated OSA disrupts sleep, degrades sleep quality, and can lead to serious long-term consequences, including cardiovascular and metabolic complications.
π Tackling childhood OSA is essential to protect health and help children thrive.
πΉ Adequate Sleep Duration
We have demonstrated that a significant proportion of school children and adolescents in Hong Kong fail to achieve the recommended amount of sleep. Inadequate sleep is not just about feeling tiredβit is linked to a higher risk of obesity and elevated blood pressure, both of which can affect long-term health.
β¨ Our message on this World Sleep Day
Pay attention to your sleep. Both quality and quantity matter. By sleeping well, we can live better, healthier, and happier.
