How do Americans sleep?
*Most Americans (79%) would feel better and more prepared for the day with an extra hour of sleep. 82% find one extra hour of sleep at night somewhat or extremely valuable. Women find an extra hour of sleep more valuable than men. More women than men would feel better and more prepared for the day with an extra hour of sleep. 50% of all Americans say they would feel somewhat or extremely frustrated if they lost an hour of sleep at night and it wasn’t by choice.
*About half (49%) of all American adults do not feel they get enough sleep. Adults who work full-time are more likely to feel that they do not get enough sleep.
*70% of American working adults describe their sleep as unsatisfactory. 30% of this group actually sleeps less than 6 hours per night. Sleeping less than 6 hours per night over a longer period of time is a key contributor to “clinical burn-out”.
