The importance of getting proper sleep is rising, not only because of the chaotic work schedules, and the increasing presence of screens in our lives after the Covid-19 pandemic. People are sleeping fewer hours in general and are faced with the additional challenge of reduced quality of sleep. 

Every year, March 18 is observed as World Sleep Day by the World Sleep Day Committee of the US-based non-profit organisation, World Sleep Society. It is done to celebrate the activity of sleeping and also raise awareness about the different issues associated with it. While the absence of technology a few decades ago made it easier to get a good night’s sleep, the overuse of gadgets in recent years has seen many people sacrificing or delaying rest, leading to different kinds of side-effects. This is apart from the fact that many people suffer from sleep disorders such as insomnia and Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA), among others.
