Feeling a little tired as you wait for your caffeine to kick in? A lot of us are, according to a new report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It finds that almost a third of U.S. adults are sleeping less than the recommended seven hours a night. And it can have a negative impact on their health.
The CDC’s report uses data from the National Health Interview Survey, which shows that only 54% actually wake up feeling “well-rested” on most days.
The rates of undersleeping are nearly the same for men (30.6%) and women (30.4%), but men are more likely to wake up feeling well-rested (58.2%) than women (51.7%).
Women are more likely to say they struggle to fall asleep at night, about 19% say they do, compared to 12% of men.
And women are also more likely to have trouble staying asleep (21%) than men (14%).
About 40% of Black adults are getting fewer than seven hours of sleep a night, on average and just 51.4% report feeling well-rested when they wake up.
Asian adults are the most likely to say they feel well-rested (62%).
Age seems to be a factor when it comes to feeling refreshed after a night of sleep. Broken down by age, 64% of those 65 and older report feeling well-rested when they wake, compared to 52% of those ages 18 to 34, and 50% of those between 35 and 49 years old.
But being groggy in the morning isn’t the worst thing about not getting enough sleep. Research shows that getting enough quality sleep can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, help regulate hormones, and keep blood sugar under control. It may even help fight dementia and can impact both mood and mental health.
