PETALING JAYA, Malaysia, May 21, 2018 - (Media OutReach) - To mark World Sleep Day 2018 amidst an alarming increase rate of insomnia and sleeping disorders within Asia Pacific, sleep health specialist Am Life International Sdn Bhd presented its sleep care showcase to the Malaysian media.
Sleep disorders impact 45% of the world's population. Media reports showed approximately 35% of the general Malaysian population suffer from insomnia symptoms and 12.2% have chronic insomnia.
Mr. Lew Mun Yee, President and Founder of Amlife said the company has been in collaboration with the World Sleep Society and several authoritative and prestigious organizations in the sleep technology industry to advocate sleep care initiatives.
Last year, the joint congress of World Association of Sleep Medicine (WASM) and World Sleep Federation conferred the World Sleep Distinguished Award in Prague to Amlife -- making Malaysia the only Asian country to receive the prestigious Award.
This year, Amlife had rolled out its regional roadshows targeting strategic audiences including the general public with sleep health talks, workshops, tips & solutions in key Asia Pacific countries - Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia and now Malaysia.
Initiated by sleep health specialist Am Life International Sdn Bhd and conducted by Nielsen Malaysia, the inaugural Amlife national sleep survey 2018 indicated the average Malaysian sleeps average of 6.3 hours (recommended sleeping time should be 7 to 9 hours according to experts). The new sleep survey revealed 9 out of 10 Malaysians suffer from one or more sleep problems.
4 out of 10 take more than 30 minutes to sleep (10 to 20 minutes is normal).
6 in 10 agree that sleeping longer do not equal quality sleep.
According to the Amlife survey, the top sleep problems in the country were waking in the middle of the night (46%), feeling tired and unrested in the morning (32%), falling asleep throughout the day (31%), snoring (29%) and difficult to sleep (26%).
The survey also showed 66% say they face such problems at least once a week.
On the top causes of sleeping problems, 52% said they were affected by stress, anxiety and depression, 34% blamed it on unhealthy lifestyles and sleep habits and 25% said they spend too much time on gadgets.
As for consequences of sleep disorders, the most cited were headache (40%), fatigue (37%), trouble thinking or concentrating (37%), shoulder or neck pain (33%), as well as temperament and mood swings (26%). It is good to note 9 out of 10 Malaysians are aware poor sleep can be root cause of health issues.
43% Malaysians are unaware of having sleep problems while 33% are not acknowledging having sleeping disorders despite encountering frequent sleep problems.
The survey highlights participants' awareness of sleep health and finds that Malaysians generally agree that it is important to seek solutions when facing sleeping difficulties; however, 40% say they do not know how. 43% Malaysians prefer natural solutions when it comes to sleeping aids.
At a press event, Amlife introduced its sleep healthcare bedding which aims to "create health from sleep" in a natural way (via no-medication, no-injection, non-invasive natural therapy) to prompt the body's natural healing process.
