Somnologists and researchers of sleep around the world created the day to counter misconceptions about the importance of sleep and its general disregard.

• Good sleep gives the immune system a boost which is the first line of defence against illnesses. According to specialists at the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, proper sleep also makes vaccines more effective.
