Adults should get at least 7 hours a night of sleep, but one-third of US adults report that they usually get less. Not getting enough sleep is linked with many chronic diseases and conditions, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and depression. Not getting enough sleep can also lead to motor vehicle crashes and mistakes at work.
CDC’s Sleep and Sleep Disorders Program in the Division of Population Health works to increase awareness about the need for good sleep and how to get enough. Check out their websites linked above for more information!
