In each day we will also have short online quizes that will be answered by our expert panel. The world sleep day will be celebrated with two short awareness texts, one about the benefits of sleep and another about the consequences of sleep deprivation. Finally, on the 15th of march, we will held a meeting, open to the general public, at CNS-campus neurologico in Braga and Torres Vedras, where we will provide a short presentation on the benefits of sleep, the causes for bad sleep and a call into action to resolve them.
