00:00Are you able to sleep soundly?
00:03According to experts, there is a problem with the quality of sleep of Filipinos.
00:07So they have studied how to wake everyone up from this sleeping problem.
00:14Dana Ting Hugo was able to figure it out.
00:19Before, we were taught that an ideal length of sleep is 8 hours.
00:23But due to the many things that need to be done and the daily responsibilities,
00:27is it enough for Filipinos?
00:30About 6 hours?
00:32Of course, because of work and stress.
00:35Sometimes, 4-5 hours.
00:374-5 hours? Do you think that's enough?
00:39No.
00:40Why?
00:41Sometimes, we use the time.
00:43I use the time at night.
00:44I travel.
00:45Are they able to sleep?
00:47What is the worst thing that you remember?
00:50Street duty.
00:5124 hours.
00:52Sleep deprivation, such as sleep apnea,
00:54or waking up in the middle of the night,
00:57can lead to problems and diseases.
01:25For all organisms, actually, it's our way of surviving.
01:29Without sleep, we die.
01:31According to a group of sleep medicine specialists,
01:33Filipinos are waking up from this problem.
01:36They are pursuing a broad study on how to sleep in the Philippines
01:40that will be a guide for the recommendation of the police on the sleep health of the public,
01:45especially those who are on a graveyard shift or working at night.
01:49We don't have an answer for that.
01:50We rely on studies from the outside, from other nations.
01:55We're developing a protocol.
01:59We have been granted by our partners for that study.
02:05According to the group, there is no formal discussion in the Department of Health
02:09regarding the recommendation of the police on sleep health.
02:12The committee level also agreed with the Senate
02:15on the recommendation of the Sleep Disorder Awareness and Education Program.
02:20To sleep better,
02:22according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of America,
02:26some can try to sleep and wake up at the same time every day.
02:31Don't use electronics like cellphones 30 minutes before going to sleep,
02:36and regularly exercise and eat properly.
02:39For GMA Integrated News, I'm Dan Atingcun.
02:41I've been talking for 24 hours.
