Abstract：
Our sleep-wake cycle is determined by the interaction between our homeostatic sleep drive and circadian rhythm. Each of us has a personalised biological rhythm or chronotype that determines the optimal time to fall asleep and wake up. Chronic sleep deprivation has been linked to the development of several physical and mental health disorders, as well as accidents and occupational errors. Around the world, growing recognition of the importance of sleep has led to the adoption of practices that promote sleep health. Given that Singaporeans were consistently found to be one of the most sleep-deprived populations in the world, we believe that there is an urgent need to pursue the introduction of community-based sleep health interventions here. This includes sleep education and promotion of sleep hygiene, adopting practices to reduce social jetlag and improve sleep health, and enhancing screening and treatment of sleep disorders.
摘要：
我们的睡眠-觉醒周期取决于我们的稳态睡眠驱动和昼夜节律之间的相互作用。我们每个人都有一个个性化的生物节律或时间型，它决定了入睡和醒来的最佳时间。慢性睡眠不足与几种身心健康障碍的发展有关，以及事故和职业错误。在世界各地,人们越来越认识到睡眠的重要性，因此采用了促进睡眠健康的做法。鉴于新加坡人一直被认为是世界上睡眠不足的人口之一，我们认为，这里迫切需要推行以社区为基础的睡眠健康干预措施。这包括睡眠教育和促进睡眠卫生，采取减少社会时差和改善睡眠健康的做法，加强睡眠障碍的筛查和治疗。
