Sleep: a core pillar of health and wellbeing : Improving population sleep health to reduce preventable illness and injury – Policy Evidence Review

Collaborator

This policy evidence review has drawn together the available evidence on sleep health relevant to the Australian policy context and has identified policy approaches that would enable a nationally consistent approach to improving sleep health in Australia. In particular, it focusses on how policy can best support the prevention and treatment of poor sleep in the Australian population. The role of population health policy in improving public awareness, understanding and engagement in improved sleep health is considered together with the potential for primary care services, particularly general practice, to identify, prevent and treat poor sleep and sleep disorders. The clinical treatment and management of sleep disorders within specialist sleep health services are beyond the scope of this paper.
