30 percent of adults in the U.S. are not getting enough sleep.
That’s according to data from the 2010 National Health Interview Survey, published in the April 27 issue of the Center for Disease Control’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. It’s a pretty sobering statistic, isn’t it?
This percentage constitutes about 40.6 million workers, all of whom are sleeping six or fewer hours each day. Of these workers, 44 percent work night shifts and 28.8 percent work during the day. The most common professions in which a worker is likely to be sleep deprived are law enforcement and fire officials, health care workers, security personnel, retail associates in 24-hour stores, and transportation workers. These are all jobs that often require employees to work nights, sometimes consecutively, and sometimes even after a full shift during the day.
Other people who are likely to be sleep deprived are stay-at-home parents, widows, divorcees, recently separated partners, and workers who hold multiple jobs. The most common age group that falls victim to sleep deprivation is adults between the ages of 30 and 44.
While sleep deprivation can be caused by a number of sleep disorders, including sleep apnea and insomnia, the most common cause is one’s schedule. College students and young working professionals are also at risk, though the CDC reports only on adults within the demographic that constitutes the majority of workers in America.
