According to a Centers for Disease Control and Preventions survey, 40% of Americans get less than the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep each night. In fact, these people overall get approximately 6 hours or less of sleep a night.
Medical studies relate a lack of sleep to various health problems, such as heart disease, strokes, and diabetes along with many more. A lack of sleep is also related to cognitive impairment. Studies also show that a lack of sleep over a few days has been compared to coming to work intoxicated by alcohol. How well can you do your job if you are not sober?
