Survey Says U.S. Adults Don’t Get Enough Sleep
Problems with the quantity and quality of sleep U.S. adults experience indicate a disturbing trend when it comes to healthcare use, work performance and accident risk.
A new report shows a majority of Americans have trouble sleeping at least once a week, which spells trouble for employers when it comes to healthcare costs, accident risk and productivity.
The study, initiated by Packaged Facts, discovered troubled sleep is “normal,” with 82 percent of U.S. adults surveyed indicating they have issues getting rest at least once a week. If extrapolated, this is 206 million of the 249 million U.S. adult population.
