"Right to Sleep" movement

The "Right to Sleep" movement advocates for the idea that everyone deserves a peaceful and uninterrupted night’s sleep as a basic human right. This concept emerges in response to issues like noise pollution, homelessness, and erratic work schedules that disrupt sleep quality. Supporters argue that adequate sleep is critical for health, well-being, and productivity. They seek to promote policies and practices that create environments conducive to restful sleep, such as better housing conditions, quieter urban planning, and workplace reforms. By raising awareness, the movement aims to ensure that sleep is recognized as essential for a healthy life.
