The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that 70% of Americans report that they obtain insufficient sleep at least one night per month, and 11% report insufficient sleep every night. According to the CDC, sleep disorders in the United Stated are now so pervasive that they constitute a public health epidemic. Americans experience multiple problems associated with lack of sufficient sleep. For example, studies show that almost 50 million people report problems concentrating during the day due to lack of sleep, and 18 million individuals reported that sleep deficiency interfered with job performance. Another 24 million people indicated lack of sleep interfered with their driving, and almost 20% of all car crash accidents and injuries are associated with sleepiness.
