The S7 Academies Joint Statement calls on the G7 to recognize brain health as a strategic priority for societal resilience, public health, and economic sustainability. Brain disorders affect 1 in 3 people during their lifetime and are a leading cause of disability worldwide.

SBHF welcomes this initiative, which aligns with Switzerland's integrated approach to brain health — including the work of Claudio L. A. Bassetti, Indrit Bègue, and the Swiss Brain Health Plan (SBHP). Both the EAN Brain Health Strategy and Bègue et al.'s "One brain, one mind, one health, one planet" are explicitly cited in the statement.

Key recommendations include the establishment of a G7 Brain Health Advisory Council, increased international investment, and stronger collaboration in neuroscience, prevention, and AI-driven research.

🧠😴 Dormire bene non significa controllare tutto.

Il sonno è regolato da meccanismi molto precisi.
La melatonina ci aiuta ad addormentarci, mentre l’orexina sostiene la veglia e ci permette di rimanere attivi durante il giorno.

Oggi molte persone monitorano costantemente la qualità e la quantità del sonno con app e dispositivi. Ma quando l’attenzione diventa eccessiva, può nascere un fenomeno chiamato ortosonnia: l’ansia di dormire “nel modo giusto”, che finisce per peggiorare il sonno stesso.

📱 I sleep tracker possono essere utili, ma non raccontano tutta la storia e non sostituiscono l’ascolto del corpo.

🔍 Dal punto di vista neurologico, una valutazione specialistica del sonno è indicata soprattutto in presenza di:
• marcata sonnolenza diurna
• forti mal di testa al risveglio
• risvegli notturni frequenti
• sensazione persistente di sonno non ristoratore

💡 Per la maggior parte delle persone, ciò che conta davvero è:
• un ritmo sonno-veglia regolare
• movimento quotidiano
• esposizione alla luce naturale
• meno pressione e più ascolto di sé
• ⁠
Perché il sonno non è una prestazione da misurare,
ma una funzione vitale da rispettare. 🌙
