Mouka, a stakeholder in Nigeria’s sleep industry, has joined the World Sleep Society and thousands of sleep health professionals and advocates to raise awareness on the importance of good sleep for healthy living.

This year’s World Sleep Day with the theme “Sleep is Essential for Health”, is dedicated to spreading awareness about all aspects of sleep.

According to the World Sleep Society, just like eating well and exercising, sleep is a behaviour that is foundational to one’s physical, mental and social wellbeing.

Speaking on the theme, Mouka’s managing director, Mr Femi Fapohunda, stated that healthy sleep on quality products is very crucial for sound health.

According to the MD, “sleeping on quality mattresses and pillows keeps the body properly aligned for a great night’s sleep and general wellbeing.”

Speaking on the significance of good sleeping habits, the Nigeria Society of Physiotherapy (NSP), Lagos chapter, represented by Dr Remi Durojaiye said, “Good sleep is required for optimal health. During sleep, your body works to support healthy brain function and maintain physical health.”

Mouka rolled out grassroots education centred around the theme to celebrate this year’s World Sleep Day.

In partnership with the Nigeria Society of Physiotherapy, Mouka is conducting physical sensitisation sessions in selected companies in Lagos.

Mouka has also deployed radio communication and educational content in print and social media platforms for a wider reach.
