The vital roles quality sleep plays in maintaining overall health, productivity, and wellbeing were the highlights of this year’s World Sleep Day.
Mouka, the market leader in Nigeria’s sleep industry, joined the global community of sleep health advocates, researchers, and healthcare professionals, recently, to commemorate the event, which is an annual initiative created by the World Sleep Society.
Celebrated on, March 13, 2026, this year’s theme: “Sleep Well, Live Better,” reinforces the growing body of scientific evidence showing that good sleep promotes wellness and resilience, while poor sleep can negatively affect nearly every aspect of the body and mind.
According to the World Sleep Society, “sleep is a critical pillar of health, just like nutrition and physical activity. Adequate sleep supports memory and learning, strengthens immune function, and helps the body repair and maintain energy levels.
“Conversely, poor sleep health has been linked to serious health concerns such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cognitive impairment and increased susceptibility to infections.”
Speaking on the significance of the theme and Mouka’s continued participation in the global campaign, Mouka’s Head of Marketing, Tolu Olanipekun, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to promoting a healthy sleep culture in Nigeria.
“We have been adding comfort to life since 1959, not only through our high-quality sleep products but, also, through sustained consumer education on the importance of quality sleep.
The theme, “Sleep Well, Live Better” perfectly aligns with our mission to improve the wellbeing of Nigerians by helping them understand that quality sleep is fundamental to a healthy and productive life,” she said.
As part of the activities to mark World Sleep Day 2026, Mouka, once again, collaborated with key healthcare partners, including the Nigeria Society of Physiotherapy and the National Association of Orthopaedic and Manual Therapists, to educate Nigerians about the benefits of healthy sleep habits and proper sleep environments.
