As I write that post, I’m sipping on my third cup of coffee for the day. By the date I get to bed (much later tonight), I will have downed well by a pot of java. For many Americans, that is a common everyday occurrence. According to a new report from the Center for Disease Control, 70 percent of adults don’t get sufficient sleep at night.

We should be striving to get at least seven hours of Z’s, but a lot of times I feel lucky to get six. Around 50 million Americans are all lumped into the same boat though. Back in the 80’s, that figure was significantly less.

What’s the reason for that sleep deprivation? Lifestyle choices, work, and a myriad of other circumstances contribute to our restless nation. Coffee

and energy drinks are peddled like water, and many humans strive to put in as many hours as possible at the office. Will that trend continue, or perhaps get worse? It’s tough to tell, but hopefully we can memorize how to unplug and sleep in the not-too-distant future.
