How much sleep do you get a night? I strive to get the National Sleep Foundation’s recommended seven to nine hours of sleep a night, but sometimes, like many, I struggle falling asleep, particularly as my mind races with thoughts of the day, what I have to do tomorrow, etc.
The National Sleep Foundation promoted the benefits of healthy sleep and its significance to overall health through a weeklong celebration, Sleep Awareness Week, March 14-20. The foundation notes that 89 percent of working adults have regular sleep problems, while fatigued driving was responsible for at least 90,000 car crashes, 50,000 injuries and 800 deaths in 2017.
