One in Ten Americans Are Chronically Sleep Deprived
WirePosted writes "A CDC research study released this past week indicates that the physical and mental health of many Americans is being adversely affected by a lack of sleep. According to the study, a part of the organization's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, one in ten US citizens are consistently failing to get enough sleep every night. Almost 40% of the people surveyed didn't get enough sleep for more than a week every month. The article notes that this trend can have far-ranging implications for health beyond simple fatigue."

Now I'm going to be up all night worrying about if I get enough sleep or not.
There are no loopholes. It's either legal or it's not.
You mean some people get 6 or 7 hours of sleep a night? I guess we are turning into a country of slackers.

After reading this post, me and my lady friend started talking well into the wee hours of the morning. I finally decided that she was right, that I did need more sleep. So i took out her neatly placed batteries, and deflated her. Now I can get more sleep.
Look what it did to her hair though.
As Americans don't even rate in the Top Ten Worldwide for frequency, according to the folks at Durex (and they should know!).
Some days it's just not worth
chewing through my restraints.
Hans? Is that you?
but there are so many teach yourself in 24 hour books so i can learn everything but feel a little sleepy. maybe they could make the chapters longer and reduce it to teach yourself in 18 hours so i can get a little sleep.
