Wake Up America: A National Sleep Alert

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wake up America: A National Sleep Alert was a pivotal 1992 sleep study performed in the United States by the National Commission on Sleep Disorders Research. It found that contemporary United States citizens spent twenty percent less time sleeping than people in earlier eras, and that accidents and reduced productivity caused by sleep deprivation or sleep disorders could cost the United States up to a hundred million dollars a year.
