A new national study reveals that nearly one in three Moroccans suffers from insomnia, with women twice as likely to be affected as men. Researchers warn that sleep disturbances have become a growing public health issue in Morocco, calling for gender-sensitive prevention and care measures.
Dr. Tayeb Hamdi, a physician and researcher in health policy and systems, examines the question of which time standard a country should adopt. He argues that the decision should be based not only on its impact on public health but also on other factors, including economic, commercial, social, energy-related, and security considerations. According to Dr. Hamdi, the final choice depends on how much weight each of these factors is given.
