In conjunction with World Sleep Day 2026, a sleep health awareness programme titled “Program Pencegahan Microsleep & Kelesuan” was organized to increase public awareness about the dangers of fatigue, excessive daytime sleepiness, and microsleep, particularly during long-distance travel and lifestyle changes during the month of Ramadan.

The session was delivered by Professor Dr Louis Adaikalam, President of Malaysia Sleep Apnea Association. The talk highlighted the relationship between sleep quality, alertness, and safety, especially when individuals travel back to their hometowns during Ramadan and festive periods.
