[Expert consensus on the establishment and management of sleep clinics in medical institutions (2025 edition)].

Sleep health is a core element of public health. Sleep disorders are strongly linked to various chronic diseases, posing a serious threat to public health. Given the large number of individuals with sleep disorders in China, establishing professional and standardized sleep medicine centers is an essential requirement for advancing comprehensive sleep health management. The sleep clinic serves as the central hub of a sleep medicine center, undertaking critical functions such as initial patient screening, triage, and interdisciplinary coordination. This expert consensus writing group, incorporating opinions from specialists across relevant sleep medicine societies and associations, systematically proposes a framework and management requirements for the standardized development of sleep clinics. This expert consensus includes defining the scope of clinical services, establishing construction standards, and outlining personnel training and qualification certification. And it aims to establish a full life-cycle sleep health management network by standardizing development criteria, quality control processes, and resource allocation.
