Voluntary Sleep Deprivation - three nasty little words. ALL of us are probably guilty of it!
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 World Sleep Day on 16 March 2012, 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. From 16 to 25 March during the Singapore Sleep Awarness Week 2012, try to sleep an hour more everyday and feel the physical differences in your body.
In celebration of World Sleep Day 2012, supporters of the "Sleep An Hour More Movement" took a nap at Raffles Place on 16 March. See you at "Sleep An Hour More Movement" on Facebook!
