Many of us don’t get enough sleep. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Sleep Foundation, “enough” means 7-9 hours a night for anyone over age 18, but somewhere between ¼ and 1/3 of adults get less than that. Millions of Americans also suffer from sleep disorders, such as insomnia and sleep-disordered breathing, making them feel less refreshed even when they get a full night’s sleep.
