A survery conducted by Sleep in America that polled 1,000 people across the country concluded that even though most Americans are aware that inadequate sleep combined with long working hours in unhealthy, they are not aware that the combination is bad for the economy.
Seventy million Americans are effected by sleep problems and despite knowing that the negative outcome of such patterns, two-thirds of those are not dealing with the issue.
"Economic loss from sleep deprivation or sleep disorders generally is huge," said Dr. Samir Fahmy, director of the sleep lab at Kings County Hospital in New York City. "It's not just loss of money for medical care, it's loss of money for days off the job, accidents, lawyers for accidents, doctors, hospital stays, decreased productivity. It's like a chain reaction."
Sleep deprivation can cause drowsiness at the wheel, loss of productivity and attentiveness, lack of interest in sex and other health implications in terms of heart health and more.
The wide range of questions asked to those polled outline what Americans except as a daily rountine, so look at the results and learn what is an isn't healthy in terms of sleep and work.
