Almost a third of all Americans are tossing and turning, unable to get a good night’s sleep because they’re worrying about the economy, their jobs or their money, a new poll finds. Money problems far outweigh other problems, such as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, global warming, or the threat of a terrorist attack, according to the annual poll by the National Sleep Foundation. " What is very telling is that these Americans whose sleep is impacted by financial worries report that their sleep disturbance makes them much less likely to work efficiently, exercise, eat healthily, and have sex compared to their better-sleeping fellow Americans," said report coauthor Michael V. Vitiello, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at University of Washington.
These sleep-disturbed Americans also report that they’re more than twice as likely to miss participating in family events, leisure activities and work functions because of their sleepiness, Vitiello added. According to the poll, 27 percent of those surveyed said they had disturbed sleep in the past month due to money issues— including personal finances(16 percent), the US economy(15 percent), or losing their job(10 percent). Although people are getting better about recognizing the importance of sufficient sleep to their health and their ability to function, many are still experiencing disturbed sleep, leading to adverse effects on their health and daily functioning, Vitiello said.
The number of Americans reporting sleep problems has increased 13 percent since 2001. Conversely, the number of people who report getting eight hours of sleep on a regular basis has decreased, from 38 percent in 2001 to 28 percent today. Also, only a third of all Americans who report sleep problems also report that they’ve discussed their sleep problems with their doctors, Vitiello said. " Given the ongoing economic crisis and personal financial stresses many Americans are experiencing, the National Sleep Foundation encourages Americans to maintain or to develop good sleep, exercise and diet habits to stay healthy and productive, particularly in difficult times,"Vitiello said. "Remember that good sleep is essential to good health and is not negotiable. If you think you have a sleep problem you should speak with your physician. "
Dr. Bruce Nolan, medical director of the Sleep Center at the University of Miami’s Miller School of Medicine, said sleep is sensitive to things that go on during the day. "Things that go on during the day can disturb people’s nights, and things that go on at night can disturb people during the day," Nolan said. People should try to get seven hours or more sleep a night, Nolan said. If you have problems sleeping, you should seek medical help. The US National Institutes of Health estimates that some 70 million Americans suffer from a chronic sleep disorder or intermittent sleep problem. Women experience the problems more often than men, and sleep difficulties increase with age.
