One Sleep Health: A new framework positioning sleep as a pillar of planetary health

Sleep is a non-negotiable necessity for humans and animals and a cornerstone of health.

Research is recently undergoing a paradigm shift, moving from a focus on individual factors to macro-level influences on sleep health.

The physical, social, and lifestyle exposome increasingly disrupts human and animal sleep, highlighting shared vulnerabilities and potential health risks across species within shared ecosystems.

Here, we propose a novel integrative One Sleep Health framework that recognizes sleep as a pillar of planetary health.

Tahmasian et al. introduce the One Sleep Health framework, positioning sleep as a pillar of planetary health to guide global research, policy, and public health strategies to mitigate environmental impacts on sleep health.
