The most common cause of sleepiness in the day is inadequate sleep due to voluntary sleep deprivation. Long term sleep deprivation may have harmful effects on your body and brain. Therefore in conjunction with the World Sleep Day on 19 March 2010, we encourage everyone who is routinely not getting enough sleep to sleep an hour more than usual if possible.
Switch off your mobile phone, computers or TV, tuck in early, sleep in later or take a nap in the day, and remember what it was like to enjoy good sleep and wake up feeling refreshed. Better yet, sleep an hour more every day, for the duration of the SSAW campaign from 19-28 March to see and feel the physical differences in your body! Take the challenge and pledge your support for the “Sleep An Hour More Movement” on Facebook.
