Sleep deprivation is rampant in the United States and causes many health issues. Some experts, such as Sleephealth.org, state that 70% of the U.S. population gets an insufficient amount of sleep at least once a month. The effects of that lack of sleep are well studied and affect virtually every aspect of people’s waking lives, including their time at work.
A recent study by cpap.com sought to understand what role work plays in sleep deprivation. The results are surprising. Nearly one-quarter (22%) of those surveyed said they had stayed up all night because of work.
