Like nutrition and physical activity, sleep health is a uniquely powerful target for interventions that improve overall health, yet most countries do not include sleep health in their public health agendas.
“There is strong evidence that sleep is essential for physical and mental health, as well as well-being, across the entire lifespan. Disruption of sleep and circadian rhythms significantly increases the risk for dementia, obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Now is the time to integrate sleep and circadian health programs to promote the health span worldwide. No public health agenda is sufficient without the inclusion of sleep,” says Phyllis C. Zee, MD, PhD, chair of the WSS Global Sleep Health Task Force and president of World Sleep Society.
The Costs of Inaction
The costs of inaction are clear: avoidable burdens on health systems and continued exacerbation of global health inequities. “Our viewpoint describes in brief the wide-ranging consequences of poor sleep health for individuals, communities and governments worldwide. We are already bearing these burdens. We need action in these three areas – awareness, research and public policy – to lighten those burdens and improve lives,” says Diane C. Lim, MD, and Arezu Najafi, MD, lead co-authors of the article.
Standardize Data Collection
For its own part, the international research community must standardize data collection on global sleep health. “Researchers across many disciplines such as occupational health and urban planning who are interested in leveraging the science of sleep and circadian health to ultimately improve population health both locally and internationally must work together to collect – in a standardized fashion – the multi-dimensional sleep and circadian data that decision-makers need,” says Chandra Jackson, Ph.D., Senior Investigator at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), part of the National Institutes of Health, and co-senior author of the viewpoint with Dr. Zee.

Leading at-home IPL hair removal brand drives awareness of PCOS through We See You campaign
NEW YORK, Sept. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Ulike, the leading at-home IPL hair removal brand, is supporting Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) warriors in honor of PCOS Awareness Month (September) with their We See You campaign. Ulike is dedicated to raising awareness around and providing supportive solutions to Hirsutism, a side effect of the condition that causes excessive hair growth.
Ulike has emerged as a game-changing solution for women struggling with PCOS, specifically those who deal with unwanted body and facial hair. The brand’s most recent launch, Air3, features patented and advanced technology to offer gentle and effective hair removal. The product’s fusion of science and user-centric design, ensuring both safety and effectiveness, delivers visible results in as little as three weeks. The powerful results provide solace to PCOS users as do the long-lasting smoothness that follows, as PCOS warriors typically experience faster hair growth than the average woman.
In honor of PCOS Awareness Month, Ulike is launching several initiatives to provide holistic support to the PCOS community. Beryl Hwang states, “We’re proud to advocate for and celebrate these inspirational women affected by PCOS. Ulike has always prioritized the needs of beauty consumers, and after hearing how useful our devices have been for the PCOS community, a month of initiatives to honor them was a seamless step for the brand.” Ulike is committed to raising awareness for the community through the following initiatives this September:
PCOS Warrior Social Campaign & Documentary: Ulike is partnering with members of the PCOS community to create an empowering social campaign and documentary in September. This impactful project aims to empower PCOS patients and normalize conversations around the unwanted hair growth experience.
Exclusive Discounts: Ulike is offering an exclusive 25% product discount to PCOS patients, making its products more accessible and affordable to aid in the hormonal disorder side effects of PCOS. Patients can share their story on the brand website to unlock the code; an effort to encourage positive discourse and community.
PCOS CON Event Sponsorship: Ulike is proud to be a main sponsor at the upcoming PCOS CON in California to amplify awareness, foster community engagement, and provide valuable resources to those affected by PCOS. Prominent PCOS advocate Cash Arroyo will attend the event as a guest of the brand, speaking to her personal journey with hair growth and Ulike.
Cash Arroyo states, “Dealing with PCOS is already hard but having to endure hirsutism‥as one of the symptoms really rocks your self-esteem! Companies like ulike that not only provide an amazing product but do it with the comfort of being home and not having anyone ask you questions or worry about them burning you. This product is amazing!”
Ulike is proud to support those suffering with PCOS through these thoughtful initiatives and is dedicated to raising awareness on these important topics throughout the year.
Since 2013, Ulike has harnessed the power of clinical technology to produce luxurious, painless, and cost-effective IPL at-home hair removal devices. With powerful IPL and Sapphire Cooling Technology, the devices deliver visible results and are suitable to use on the full body. The devices are FDA-cleared, clinically tested and dermatologist recommended. Since inception, the brand has grown to be a global leader of IPL at-home beauty devices with over 4 million units sold in 17 countries worldwide. As a beauty-tech brand focused on innovation, Ulike allots thirty percent of its annual profits to research and development. This continuous drive for advancement has helped the brand secure over 100 global patents and become an international success.
“Research is at the core of our mission,” said Kevin Radelet, executive director, “and providing the support for research break-throughs, continues to drive the best minds to discover even better treatments. We are especially proud this year, to be able to make our largest annual investment to date, in this important research.”
Peer-review process
The competitive, peer-reviewed program funds early-career investigators of exceptional creativity. The projects are highly innovative, with the potential to impact broad, essential areas of leukemia research.
This year’s projects span a range of topics to advance discoveries in:
Cancer cell biology
Treatments, including CAR-T
Relapse prevention after treatment
Grantees are evaluated by the Foundation’s independent Medical Advisory Board (MAB), comprised of 21 leading hematology/oncology experts from prominent medical research institutions.
The MAB is chaired by Justin Kline, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine, University of Chicago Medicine and Associate Professor of Comprehensive Cancer Research Center, University of Chicago Medicine.
Using the same methodology employed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the MAB evaluates proposals from pioneering scientists and clinical investigators to identify which studies they recommend to the Leukemia Research Foundation for funding.
