Activity: At Sleep Moksha , Dr. Monika Sharma celebrated sleep and its vast importance during our annual world sleep day -2023 celebrations with a week long online activities- the first of its kind in India curated by the Sleep expert herself.
In order to deeply understand the impact of sleep on other components of health and well-being,
We collaborated with other subject matter – experts –
-Sleep & Nutrition ;
– The art and science of wakeful rest ;
-Sleep and mental Health’;
-Sleep for heart health
Sleep for high-performance sport-
the much less talked about aspects of sleep .
Common sleep myths were also debunked in one of our sessions.
We ended the week long activities with a power packed session with Ms. Yogita Singh, Actor and Anchor talking about why #sleepdeprivation is on the rise and how it’s having a significant impact on the overall health and mental wellbeing of the nation.
In our endeavor for general public to increase their knowledge concerning the importance of good quality sleep and common sleep disorders , through our week long activities in three different languages – Hindi (national language) , Punjabi (regional
Language) and English we were able to accomplish the following goals:
-> Help individuals and their sleep partners understand the importance of sleep as one of the pillars of health ;
-> recognize sleep problems and cross the threshold to medical diagnosis and treatment.
-> Respond to the media’s need for information that is credible, accurate and easily accessible.
The primary vehicle by which the program was able to achieve these objectives was an interactive online live sessions.
