“World Sleep Day is a worldwide wake-up call,” says Peju Adebayo, Managing Director, Mouka Limited, “We want more people to be aware of the enormous importance of sleep to our health. This year’s focus on ‘Restful Sleep, Easy Breathing, and Healthy Body’ could not be more apt as we all look for ways to truly enjoy our lives in good health.”

“At Mouka, we are proud to be leading promoters of good sleep in this part of the world where many people don’t take sleep seriously. We have discovered a low level of awareness of the dangers of insufficient and low quality sleep. It is our hope that people will tune in to the radio programme and connect with us on twitter and facebook to obtain very useful information that will have a positive long-term impact of people’s well-being,” she added.

Lack of sleep, or poor quality sleep, is known to have a significant negative impact on health, both in the short and long term. Poor sleep has been associated with obesity, diabetes, weakened immune systems and even some cancers, as well as many psychological conditions such as depression and anxiety.

The maiden edition of the World Sleep Day in Nigeria, tagged ‘Sleep Well, Grow Healthy’ was organized by Mouka Limited in 2011. Over the years, Mouka Limited has remained consistent at delivering quality and reliable products and services that meet the ever growing demands of the Nigeria consumer.
