The '5 Principles of good sleep health' are proposed (a) to facilitate improved public health engagement with the importance of looking after your sleep; and (b) to offer a first line intervention for people with poor sleep and mild insomnia symptoms, that goes beyond the scope of what is traditionally known as 'sleep hygiene'. The '5 Principles' were developed by the author for the UK National Health Service (NHS) campaign 'Every Mind Matters', initiated in 2020 by Public Health England, and supported by the Mental Health Foundation. The author served as the campaign spokesperson for sleep as a critical ingredient in mental wellbeing. The '5 Principles' encourage people to Value, Prioritise, Personalise, Trust, and Protect their sleep. They are intended to educate about sleep health and to support evidence-based self-management of sleep, and not as an alternative to cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) which is the guideline treatment for chronic insomnia disorder. However, they may bridge an important gap in self-care practices for many people. The '5 Principles' would benefit from formal research evaluation.
“5 条良好睡眠健康原则”被提出：(a) 促进公众更加重视睡眠健康；(b) 为睡眠质量差和轻度失眠症状人群提供一种一线干预措施，该措施超越了传统意义上的“睡眠卫生”范围。“5 条原则”由作者为英国国民保健制度（NHS）发起的“人人关心精神健康”活动制定，该活动由英格兰公共卫生署于 2020 年启动，并得到心理健康基金会的支持。作者担任该活动的睡眠宣传代言人，将睡眠作为精神健康的关键因素。“5 条原则”鼓励人们重视、优先考虑、个性化、信任和保护自己的睡眠。其目的是教育人们了解睡眠健康，并支持基于证据的睡眠自我管理，而不是作为认知行为疗法（CBT）的替代疗法，CBT 是慢性失眠症的指南治疗方法。然而，它们可能为许多人自我保健实践填补重要空白。“5 条原则”将受益于正式的研究评估。
