Short Bio: The Portuguese Society of Pneumology (Sociedade Portuguesa de Pneumologia – SPP) purpose is to promote and protect the respiratory health of the Portuguese and to encourage education and professional qualification through the dissemination of all the subjects related to respiratory diseases. In particular, our Working Committee on Sleep Respiratory Pathology intends to inform the Portuguese people about the importance of sleep, in general health and well-being.
Activity: This year, once again, SPP aligned with the World Sleep Society’s motto and challenged the population to make sleep health a priority.
With the aim of raising awareness about the importance of sleep as a fundamental pillar of a healthy life, two main activities were developed:
– A campaign all over the country featuring advertisements encouraging people to prioritize sleep. Over several weeks, thousands of people encountered messages about the importance of making sleep a priority for a healthier and more balanced life in streets, shopping centers, metro stations, and bus stops.
– The release of a “Sleep Guide,” which includes a variety of recommendations for good sleep hygiene (https://online.fliphtml5.com/fkxvd/jfir/#p=1). This guide is accessible to everyone who wants to know more.
In addition to these activities, the population’s awareness was also carried out through the presence in different Portuguese media, like some of the main TV channels.
