THE Philippine Society for Sleep Medicine (PSSM), a professional organization of sleep experts in the Philippines with clinical training in the diagnosis and management of sleep disorders, is advocating for the establishment of more sleep centers in the country in order to address sleep conditions and other issues among Filipinos.
Sleep is something I’ve been working on lately. As simple as it sounds, a good night’s rest is sometimes elusive for the modern-day adult, what with countless distractions like smartphones, busy lifestyles, and a busy mind.
URATEX Philippines, the country’s leading sleep solutions provider, has officially partnered with the Philippine Society of Sleep Medicine, Inc. (PSSM) to address the growing problem of sleep deprivation and related disorders in the Philippines.
It’s a question many Filipinos might shrug off, unaware that poor sleep could be a sign of something far more serious, an obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
If we achieve good sleep regularly, that will lead to a healthier frame of mind, which will then radiate to a happier community, and eventually, the world.
Good sleep, a sleep expert says, is practically free, “you just have to help yourself.” But truth is, it is often the free things that are taken for granted.
