I have recently learnt about World Sleep Day (WSD), which is an annual celebration of sleep & call to action on important sleep issues organized by World Sleep Day Committee of World Sleep Society.
To mark World Sleep Day 2018 amidst an alarming increase rate of insomnia and sleeping disorders within Asia Pacific, sleep health specialist Am Life International Sdn Bhd presented its sleep care showcase to the Malaysian media at One World Hotel on Monday, 16th Apr 2018.
Joining the global call to action on the importance of healthy sleep with the theme ‘Join the Sleep World, Preserve Your Rhythms to Enjoy Life”, Amlife placed the topic of insomnia/ sleeping disorders and their impact under the microscope with key revelations from international sleep & health experts and the debut of Malaysia’s national sleep survey.
Sleep disorders impact 45% of the world’s population. Media reports showed approximately 35% of the general Malaysian population suffer from insomnia symptoms and 12.2% have chronic insomnia.
Mr. Lew Mun Yee, President and Founder of Amlife said the company has been in collaboration with the World Sleep Society and several authoritative and prestigious organizations in the sleep technology industry to advocate sleep care initiatives.
Last year, the joint congress of World Association of Sleep Medicine (WASM) and World Sleep Federation conferred the World Sleep Distinguished Award in Prague to Amlife -- making Malaysia the only Asian country to receive the prestigious Award.
This year, Amlife had rolled out its regional roadshows targeting strategic audiences including the general public with sleep health talks, workshops, tips & solutions in key Asia Pacific countries - Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia and now Malaysia.
Mr. Lew said the current “sleep crisis” brings forth a sound "sleep economy". The revenue of sleep technology industry in 2013 has reached 11.3 billion US dollars, rising to 35.2 billion US dollars in 2015, and is predicted to reach 76.7 billion US dollars in 2019.
“People are beginning to take sleep quality very seriously. The relation of one’s health is strongly linked to good sleep has been established firmly in people’s mind. The market will continue to grow with good momentum and the “quality sleep market” industry will be a major trend in the future,” said Mr. Lew.
Research shows that we spend up to 1/3 of our lives sleeping. Sleep is a basic human need and is crucial to our overall health and well-being. Insomnia is already a common sleep disorder in modern societies. Insomnia could be triggered by hectic and stressed lifestyles and the proliferation of electronic products, which leads to sleep deprivation.
There are close to 100 sleep disorders, with insomnia being the highest common sleep disorder in modern societies. Most sleep disorders are manageable with the help of sleep specialists. However, only 1/3 of sufferers seek professional help.

Amlife has invited Professor Dr. Laura Palagini, a renowned psychiatrist and an expert in sleep from Italy to advocate the importance of quality sleep during the media event. Professor Dr. Laura Palagini has touched on sleeping disorders in relations to mental health, a host of cardiovascular diseases and even Alzheimer’s disease.
With over two decades of research experience in biological, clinical psychology and an expert in sleep disorders, Dr. Laura explains circadian sleep timing is regulated by factors within the body but also by factors outside the body, environmental factors such as sunlight and lifestyle.
“Disrupting circadian sleep timing impairs the sleep machine which regulates sleep. Sound sleep is one of the three pillars of good health along with a balanced diet and regular exercise. Sleep disorders impact health quality and trigger problems such as obesity, diabetes, weakened immune systems, various psychological conditions such as depression, anxiety and psychosis. Ultimately, our well-being & life quality, social & work productivity issues get compromised,” explained Doctor Laura.
