Portuguese Sleep Association World Sleep Day
Also: Dia Mundial do Sono (APS)
The Portuguese Sleep Association runs Portugal's World Sleep Day each March, often with the University of Coimbra's neuroscience centre (CNC-UC). Recent editions included school sessions where young pupils drew sleep-habit stars for their classrooms, a children's book of drawings and verses, 360-degree planetarium animations, and in 2026 a children's drawing contest on bedtime routines run with the European Sleep Research Society.

Research notes
Created 2026-10-24 by an AI research pass for #103 (A4); not reviewed by a person. The 2025 book (Uma Viagem Ilustrada ao Mundo do Sono) and 2024 planetarium animations come from search snippets of CNC-UC pages, which failed to load (connection reset). Start year is a placeholder: APS is described as a long-running World Sleep Day organiser, but its first edition was not found. The links entry is the 2026 contest page. To verify: start year 2008 (assumed from World Sleep Day's first year); 2026 contest age bands 6-9 and 10-13.
