Overview
- A Betterfly health survey reports 71% of Mexican workers rate their sleep quality as poor, with consultants warning that companies have largely offered cosmetic compliance with Mexico’s NOM‑35 on psychosocial risks.
- A BMJ Journals review pooling 25 clinical trials with more than 2,000 participants finds resistance training the most effective exercise to improve both sleep quantity and quality, outperforming aerobic or mixed routines.
- Clinicians advise prioritizing non‑pharmacological strategies—regular schedules, light control, caffeine limits, and pre‑bed transition rituals—reserving medication only for cases that do not improve after these measures.
- Argentina has seen a 7% rise in sleep‑aid use year over year, as neurologist Conrado Estol cautions that drugs are appropriate only after behavioral steps have been tried.
- Short daytime naps of about 10–20 minutes are recommended by the Mayo Clinic, and some employers in Colombia are adding brief‑nap spaces as part of broader wellbeing programs.
