According to researches Hungarian people sleep much worse than the
European average. The reasons are mostly medical and partly social.
Those who attended the press conference held on March 13 (World Sleep
Day), were able to find out more and get a deep insight of this issue
by listening to presentations such as ˜The entity of sleeping- from
birth to death, ˜Sleeping of Hungarian nation – the review of the
newest research, ˜From the respiratory tacts to public roads-
accidents generated by falling asleep, and ˜New methods of Sleep
Healing.â€™ Presenters included Prof. LÃ¡szlÃ³ Halmy, dr Zsolt
FÃ©legyhÃ¡zi, dr Ã‰va HermÃ¡nnÃ© Fogarassy, dr LÃ¡szlÃ³ Rendi, dr.
