NEW SLEEP SURVEY REVEALS FINANCES, FAMILY & HEALTH KEEPING AMERICANS UP AT NIGHT
New results from a national survey by the educational Website, SleepBetter.org, reveal that Americans are not getting healthy sleep. This new information may explain why many experience daytime tiredness, impaired reflex times, moodiness, a lack of concentration and poor decision-making abilities. The survey indicated that the top three concerns that are keeping so many Americans up at night are finances, family and health.
Poll Highlights: About 75% of Americans Do Not Believe They Get Enough Sleep
The 2008 National Sleep Survey extracted interesting results:
- 47% cite financial concerns, including fear of credit debt, not having enough money to pay bills, the price of gas and inability to make mortgage payments, as anxieties that keep them awake at night
- 45% have lost sleep due to worry about family issues such as health and lack of health insurance
- About 75% of Americans do not believe they are getting enough sleep
- 54% of those surveyed attribute stress and worries as obstacles to sleeping better
- More than four out of 10 working Americans performed poorly at work due to lack of sleep
- Almost two-thirds of adults polled had trouble falling asleep in the past 30 days
- Only 32% of Americans would give their sleep quality a rating of good or excellent
- Approximately 50% of Americans have not yet found their ideal pillow or mattress
"The results of the sleep survey illustrate a cycle of events where Americans get inadequate sleep. That lack of sleep contributes to poor work performance, subsequently leading to financial concerns and ultimately, back to low quality or deficient sleep," commented Dr. Breus, in response to the survey's results.
Special thanks to Mary Sharp and Libby Brooks for initiating Carpenter Co.'s generous donation of batting for more than 2,250 handmade quilts benefiting Primary Children's Medical Center. A move so touching that Salt Lake City officially named the day, "A Quilt for Every Bed."
