The largest Seminar Involving medical Practitioners, engineers and entrepreneurs in 2023

World Sleep Day is regularly held in the Month of March every year around the world to bring awareness to the public about sleep related disorders and its treatments.

In the year 2023, Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) shall host its first World Sleep day event whereby we bring together medical professionals, Engineers and Entrepreneurs to learn about Technology and how it affects sleep as a whole.

Speakers from multidisciplines come to share about their respective expertise. Here we share how treatment of sleep related disorders is affected by technology around us.

We would also encourage participants to take advantage of this event as it is a one of a kind of event that allows networking with other disciplines from various expertise in order to widen our perspective on the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders.

Healthy sleep is more than simple duration. Three elements of good quality sleep are: Duration: The length of sleep should be sufficient for the sleeper to be rested and alert the following day. Continuity: Sleep periods should be seamless without fragmentation. Depth: Sleep should be deep enough to be restorative.

Sleep is a pillar of human health. The World Health Organization defines “health” as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” Decades of research have demonstrated the significance of sleep for physical, mental, and social well-being.

Poor sleep health can have multiple significant impacts on human health. Poor sleep has been linked to obesity , diabetes], coronary artery disease, and cardiovascular mortality .

Poor sleep can lower immune response, creating greater susceptibility to infections that further reduce sleep quality . Certain sleep disorders like obstructive sleep apnea and rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder are associated with cognitive impairment , dementia , risk of seizures , and increased risk of stroke .

Poor sleep can result in reduced reaction times, impaired judgment, and cognitive impairment similar in effect to alcohol intoxication. Drowsiness can impair safe driving even if the driver does not fall asleep
