良好的睡眠对于身体健康至关重要。然而，在其历史的大部分时间里，睡眠医学一直专注于睡眠问题的定义、识别和治疗。睡眠健康是一个很少使用的术语，甚至很少被定义。我们是时候改变这一点了。事实上，研究、临床和监管环境的压力要求我们这样做。人口的健康越来越多地由健康、表现和适应等积极属性来定义，而不仅仅是没有疾病。睡眠健康可以用这样的术语来定义。经验数据表明，睡眠的几个维度与健康结果相关，并且可以通过自我报告和客观方法进行测量。作为示例，提供了一种建议的睡眠健康定义以及用于测量睡眠健康的自我报告项目的描述。睡眠健康的概念与其他医疗保健议程相协同，例如赋予个人和社区权力、改善人口健康和降低医疗保健成本。促进睡眠健康也为睡眠医学领域提供了新的研究和临床机会。从这个意义上说，定义睡眠健康不仅对人群和个人的健康至关重要，而且对睡眠医学本身的健康也至关重要。关键词：睡眠、健康测量、结果、公共政策
Good sleep is essential to good health. Yet for most of its history, sleep medicine has focused on the definition, identification, and treatment of sleep problems. Sleep health is a term that is infrequently used and even less frequently defined. It is time for us to change this. Indeed, pressures in the research, clinical, and regulatory environments require that we do so. The health of populations is increasingly defined by positive attributes such as wellness, performance, and adaptation, and not merely by the absence of disease. Sleep health can be defined in such terms. Empirical data demonstrate several dimensions of sleep that are related to health outcomes, and that can be measured with self-report and objective methods. One suggested definition of sleep health and a description of self-report items for measuring it are provided as examples. The concept of sleep health synergizes with other health care agendas, such as empowering individuals and communities, improving population health, and reducing health care costs. Promoting sleep health also offers the field of sleep medicine new research and clinical opportunities. In this sense, defining sleep health is vital not only to the health of populations and individuals, but also to the health of sleep medicine itself.
