World Sleep Day

Philips sounds gong on World Sleep Day

Royal Philips N.V. (ticker symbol: PHIA) sounds the opening gong at Euronext Amsterdam at World Sleep day to draw more attention to the important role of sleep.

A good sleep as part of a healthy lifestyle has a positive effect on the daily well-being and health on the long term. Philips responds to this phenomenon with sleep- and breathing/ ventilation solutions which lead to healthier patients, practices and companies. Philips innovations are based on the actual needs of the users of their products in the field of respiratory care - sleep apnea, oxygen therapy, non-invasive ventilation and respiratory drug delivery.

On this day, World Sleep Day, 17 March, which is characterized by sleep, Philips launces the results of a worldwide research on sleep – with insights on sleep habits, the importance of sleep towards other activities and how the quality of sleep affects relationships and productivity. Philips wants to start the conversation about sleep, inform people about the importance of sleep and encourage them to take control of their sleep habits and, ultimately, about their health and lifestyle.
