Activity: The action was done on a Saturday at Villa-Lobos Park, in São Paulo, a public action organized by the Brazilian Sleep Association.
We held pamphlets to the people with tips to improve sleep and talked about the importance of the sleep for a healthy life.
Some of them stopped and talk about their difficulty with t sleep, had us questions and even receive a complete consult with some of the physicians and physiotherapists.
An woman reported about how she perceive the changes in her sleep a long of her life and we filled out a 24-h clock with her activities and showed her that probably both the amount and the quality of her sleep were okay for her age.
Even there was several mothers concern about their child sleep, cause the technology exposition. This became a challenge for them.
The public action was endorsed by many physicians, physiotherapists, dentists, psychologists and speech therapists.
I enjoyed a lot these face-to-face activities for give information to help different people with different age and background to get a sleep with more quality. I realize that even the sleep is not the same for all.
