Sleep is essential to human health and wellness. World Sleep Society works to transform beliefs and policies related to sleep health, gathering the best minds and ideas in sleep medicine and science to do so.
Global Sleep Health
World Sleep Society maintains a standing Global Sleep Health Committee with a mandate to develop collaborations among health organizations and societies to promote sleep health. The Committee helps to organize, support, and coordinate activities to inform health organizations and governments about the importance of healthy sleep and sleep disorders.
