In a press release, the organization stated that patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea are more susceptible to stroke and heart failure.
Meanwhile, people with insomnia suffer more from anxiety and depression.
Realizing these negative effects, the organization launched the annual World Sleep Day in 2008.

This year, the program was celebrated in over 72 countries across the globe.
The Westin Resort Nusa Dua in Bali was an establishment that participated in the event.
Prior to World Sleep Day, the resort encouraged guests and associates to post #sleepstrong moments on Twitter and Instagram.
Moreover, to support the cause, the resort is offering a “bedtime call’ service until April, allowing guests to schedule a reminder for when they should turn-in and power-down to get a good night’s sleep. (asw)
