Guideline for the Standardized Construction of Sleep Medicine Centers in China: Undertaking the Mission of Medicine of the Era and Caring for People's Sleep Health
Abstract
Humans spend one third of their life sleeping. Sleep, a vital life process, is an essential part of human health. In response to people's growing needs concerning sleep health, sleep medicine was born and is growing rapidly, and there is also an upsurge in the construction of sleep medicine centers in China and other countries. Unfortunately, there are no Chinese standards available for the construction of sleep medicine centers and the sleep medicine centers already constructed are of varied quality. In view of this academic problem, Professor Lu Lin, an academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences and the president of Peking University Sixth Hospital, organized Chinese experts with outstanding achievements in the field of sleep medicine to draft “Guideline for the Standardized Construction of Sleep Medicine Centers in China”. This guideline mainly introduces the overall status of standardized construction of sleep medicine centers and the status of the construction of specialized sleep medicine centers in China, aiming to guide the construction of high-quality and high-standard sleep medicine centers in China, to promote the development of sleep medicine, and to safeguard people's sleep health.
