Recently, the Chinese Sleep Research Association released the "2024 White Paper on Sleep Health of Chinese Residents", which shows that the average sleep duration of mainland residents is 6.75 hours. The topic # The average sleep duration of Chinese people is 6.75 hours # quickly rushed to the hot search list. In such a sleep situation, can napping be an effective way to supplement sleep?
Taking a nap every day is a "just need" for many migrant workers. Doctors pointed out that taking a nap on the stomach is easy to compress the eyes and arms, which is not conducive to gastrointestinal digestion, and some bad napping postures can even cause harm to the body. So what is the correct nap position, and how long should I sleep?
Jingdong Family Medicine Sleep Manager suggests that workers can place cushions on the waist when taking a nap, and use a U-shaped pillow on the neck to support the cervical spine. In terms of duration, it is about 15 minutes to 20 minutes, and it is enough to have a short break.
However, this suggestion also aroused opposition from netizens, believing that "15 minutes is too short, and it is time to wake up before lying down".
Wrist-based sleep monitoring devices have the highest number of registrations
With the continuous improvement of scientific and technological strength, mainland home sleep monitoring equipment has begun to integrate various technologies and derived many products of different forms. Among them, polysomnography, which is used as a medical sleep diagnosis, has also begun to appear as a miniaturized and portable household product. In addition, mainland home sleep monitoring devices also include wearable sleep monitoring devices, other contact sleep monitoring devices, and non-contact sleep monitoring devices.
Referring to the Classification Catalogue of Medical Devices in China, the management category of sleep monitoring equipment is Class II. According to the relevant regulations of the mainland, such products need to be registered as medical devices. According to the Guidelines for the Technical Review of Sleep Apnea Product Registration, respiratory events and oxygen saturation need to be monitored in order to become a "sleep apnea screener". Therefore, most of the current home sleep monitoring equipment in mainland China only has single or several monitoring products such as blood oxygen, blood pressure, body movement, and electrocardiogram. The common ones are wrist-based sleep monitoring devices and wearable sleep monitoring devices.
As of January 17, 2022, there are only 34 sleep apnea monitors registered as medical devices in mainland China, 239 wrist-based sleep monitoring devices and 46 wearable sleep monitoring devices, respectively. Mattress and headband sleep monitoring products are available in smaller quantities.
Note 1: The sleep apnea monitor includes a sleep apnea recorder, a polysomnography recorder, a forehead sleep recorder, a sleep apnea screener, etc.
Note 2: Wrist-based sleep monitoring devices include wrist-based oximeters, wrist-type blood pressure monitors, wrist-type ECG recorders, etc.
Note 3: Wearable sleep monitoring devices include wearable ambulatory ECG recorders, wearable blood oxygen monitors, wearable continuous temperature monitors, etc.
The downstream demand potential is huge, and the supply capacity is relatively insufficient
The high proportion of people with sleep disorders is superimposed on the vast population base of the mainland, and the number of mainland residents who have problems with sleep health is large. However, at present, the mainland's publicity efforts in sleep health are limited, and consumers' awareness of sleep health has not been completely awakened. Therefore, the market demand for home sleep monitoring in mainland China is in the cultivation period. In the face of a huge population of sleep disorders, the demand for home sleep monitoring equipment is huge. In terms of the current supply of home sleep monitoring equipment products in the mainland, it is far from covering the huge demand population in the mainland
Huang Zhili, chairman of the Chinese Sleep Research Association, said that sleep problems are not only a medical problem, but also a social problem that affects people's health, work efficiency, family happiness and social harmony, and should attract great attention and sufficient attention from the whole society.
