Where is the original text of the core information and interpretation of sleep health published?

The official general version of "Sleep Health Core Information and Interpretation" was officially issued by the General Office of the National Health Commission in March 2023. The original text was first published in the "Government Affairs Disclosure - Notices and Announcements" column of the official website of the National Health Commission. This is currently the authoritative version that is most cited by the public and has the widest scope of application.

A while ago, I helped create materials for the sleep health science week for the street. I searched for several excerpted versions from social platforms at the beginning. I either deleted the entry on sleep advice for the elderly, or changed "try to avoid long-term use of sleep-aid supplements" to the absolute "eating sleep-aid supplements is equal to harming the liver." I was particularly afraid of making mistakes. The source is the original PDF on the official website of the National Health Commission. Each piece of core information is followed by an explanation, and even the data source is clearly marked. For example, it is recommended that adults sleep 7-8 hours a day, and the conclusions of a large-sample cohort study in the past 10 years are listed at the back. It is much more reliable than second-hand excerpts.

In addition to the first release on the official website, the full text was also reprinted simultaneously on the Healthy China platform and the official public account of the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Now you can search for keywords in the official Healthy China mini-program to find verified genuine content, so you don’t have to worry about searching for a version that has been altered beyond recognition.

It should also be mentioned here that a lot of core sleep health information with the same name can be found on the Internet. Not all of it is false content. Some are released by industry associations in vertical fields for specific groups of people. For example, the China Sleep Research Association released an exclusive version for the workplace in 2024. The content is more focused on sleep adjustments in shift work and high-pressure work scenarios, and it is also very practical.； However, there are also some commercial organizations that create content with the same name to attract traffic, and even include product recommendations. A friend asked me to check before, saying that the version he searched contained content recommending a certain brand of sleep aid pillow. It is obviously not the official general version. When looking for it, just make sure that the issuance number is "National Health Office Disease Control and Prevention Letter [2023] No. 74" and the publishing body is the National Health Commission, so you will not step into a trap.

If you are looking for the original text for popular science or professional reference, it is best to download the original PDF directly from the official website. Many of the excerpted contents will delete the research basis in the preparation instructions and interpretations, which will greatly reduce the professionalism.
