How did you sleep last night?; Not so well, according to half of those we asked in a sweeping survey of the nation's sleeping habits.(Survey)
Trouble falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, and awakening too early afflict a lot of Americans these days. Fifty percent of those we asked about their most recent night of sleep reported those problems, and for many, they occur repeatedly. When asked about the previous month, 44 percent said they had one or more of those issues on at least eight nights, making them "problem sleepers." Our survey was a nationally representative sample of 1,466 adults conducted by the Consumer Reports National Research Center in April 2008.
