A Sleep-deprived Nation

Proper sleep is a necessary activity for a healthier life, but Americans seem to be silently suffering from a lack of this vital need and that trend is getting worse.

With a large percentage of the population stressed by the effects of sleep deprivation, studies grouped subjects based on race, age, income and lifestyle. This led to a huge revelation through a self-report, revealing that the categories determined a different outcome with subjects.
