If you enough sleep and tired on a daily basis looking for wake up, you're not alone. More than one-third of American adults on average less than 7 hours of sleep per night, according a new report from the Centers for disease control and prevention (CDC).
Lack of sleep causes problems during the day to find CDC surveys. In a survey, 38% of the population, said that they unknowingly falling asleep during the day at least once in the last month. Even more troubling, 5% said that she signed off the coast or had really asleep while driving.
"If you get enough sleep, it affects your operations, your memory, the response time in any case.". It said most definitely affect your behavior, "Lela McKnight-Eily, PhD, one of the authors of the report and an epidemiologist and clinical psychologist with CDC National Center for chronic disease prevention and Heath promotion."
A second investigation confirmed that leads to lack of sleep often mental fuzziness. Nearly a quarter of those who had reported difficulties in concentration during the day, and nearly one-fifth less than 7 hours had difficulty remembering things.
Less than 7 hours sleep can interfere with everyday tasks, "many things you do every day, and you get," says Anne Wheaton, postdoc in the CDC the co-author of the report.
While sleep needs vary from one person to another, most adults need 20: 53 rested, in accordance with the guidelines of the National Sleep Foundation, cited by the CDC.
But that are harder to find nowadays. 1985 Through 2009, the proportion of people who are less than seven hours slept upside down from 23% to 35%, is a marked increase, the researchers say, partly due to the change of the labour force and new technologies - such as Smartphones and laptops that remain connected at all times.

"We need to start, see sleep as a central element of health." It is not a luxury, "explains McKnight-Eily." "[Lack of sleep] mortality and function can have on a daily basis.". If have you behind the wheel of a car and not rested, you have an accident. »
Disorders of the sleep - including insomnia, sleep apnea and restless legs syndrome-, adds McKnight-Eily. A sleep specialist for a disorder should see people who constantly feel poorly rested, she said.
