If there’s one thing a century or more of sleep science has established, it’s that sleep deserves to be a priority. It’s not. We hear much about the importance of exercise to our long-term well-being, and how diet and health are inextricably linked. Sleep, however, is typically an afterthought. Complicating the matter, people commonly mistake how much sleep they get for how much they need.
As many as 70 million U.S. adults are being deprived of the restful sleep their bodies require for good health and optimal performance. Either they aren’t getting enough sleep each night or their sleep is disruptive and of poor quality. It’s a momentous problem, labeled as a public health epidemic by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Sleep deprivation can have a negative effect on practically every system and organ in our bodies, paving the way for innumerable health problems.
