''5 Mins More Please'': Twitter Marks World Sleep Day With Relatable Memes And Jokes

There is nothing quite like an uninterrupted, good night's sleep. Sleep recharges our brains and bodies and is the foundation of a healthy lifestyle. Every year, the Friday before the spring equinox is observed as International Sleep Day. The first World Sleep Day was celebrated in 2008 and since then it has become an annual affair.

The day, which is being marked on March 17 this year, aims to celebrate the benefits of good and healthy sleep and raise awareness of society's sleep problems. Every year, World Sleep Day is celebrated under a specific theme. The theme for World Sleep Day 2023 is ''sleep is essential for health.''

''Just like eating well and exercising, sleep is a behavior that is foundational to one's physical, mental, and social well-being'', the society explained on its website.

As people around the world celebrate World Sleep Day today, Twitter users are having a field day creating memes and posting jokes on the microblogging platform. If you, like most people, love sleep, these tweets will definitely strike a chord.

The best thing about #WorldSleepDay is that you don't have to do anything. Just lie down and close your eyes. And maybe snore a little.
