We are celebrating Sleep Month!

World Sleep Day 2026 is Friday, March 13 and incorporates the theme Sleep Well, Live Better.

“Healthy sleep” means more than simply “enough sleep.” There are six dimensions that affect sleep health and consequently overall health and wellbeing.
Organizing “healthy sleep” into distinct aspects offers sleep health advocates more focused messaging that promotes healthy sleep behaviors.

The six dimensions of sleep health are the following:
•Duration: how much did you sleep over 24 hours?
•Efficiency: how well do you fall asleep and stay asleep?
•Timing: when do you sleep?
•Regularity: do you have consistent sleep and wake times?
•Alertness: do you maintain good focus and attention during waking hours?
•Quality: do you feel satisfied with your sleep?
