Pakar Telinga, Hidung dan Tekak (ENT) dan Penyakit Berdengkur dan Sleep Apnea, Pusat Pakar Perubatan Antarabangsa Hospital Beacon dan Bendahari Persatuan Penyakit Permasalahan Tidur Malaysia, Dr Raymond Tan Suan Kuo berkata mengantuk dan tidak cukup tidur menjadi wabak global yang mengancam kesihatan serta kualiti hidup masyarakat ketika ini. "Bagaimanapun, ramai daripada kita tidak sedar waktu tidur tidak berkualiti boleh menyebabkan pelbagai penyakit seperti angin ahmar, kegagalan jantung, diabetes dan buah pinggang. Gangguan lain termasuk kegagalan jantung, asma dan apnea tidur atau gangguan pernafasan sewaktu tidur. Sebenarnya ia boleh diatasi dan dicegah. "Gangguan tidur adalah masalah kesihatan yang boleh dicegah dan dirawat di setiap negara di dunia bermula dengan kesedaran orang awam terhadap kepentingan waktu tidur yang cukup,'' katanya sempena Hari Tidur Sedunia baru-baru ini.

People define nap differently. Sleeping continuously for three hours is definitely not napping. According to dictionary.com, nap is defined as 'a brief period of sleep, especially one taken during daytime'. This definition is strongly supported by Dr. Raymond Tan Suan-Kuo, an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Consultant and also a Snoring and Sleep Apnea specialist at the iHeal Medical Centre in Kuala Lumpur. He explains that taking naps is a good habit but having good quality sleep is still the best option. "On average, an adult requires about 7 to 9 hours of sleep. Good sleep is experienced when you are able to wake up without any assistance, be it by an alarm clock/device or by a person. "While nap on the other hand is actually taking a brief sleep for just 15 to 30 minutes,'' he said.
