The Global Burden of Insufficient Sleep

Insufficient sleep among adults is defined as not getting enough sleep regularly. It is typically defined as getting less than 6-7 hours of sleep per night. The consequences of not getting enough sleep can include physical and mental health problems such as the increased risk for obesity, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, depression, and anxiety. It can also lead to decreased concentration, poor performance in school and at work, and an increased risk of accidents. The public health implications of insufficient sleep are far-reaching, as it can affect physical, mental, and economic health. It can lead to reduced productivity, higher healthcare costs, and decreased quality of life. As such, it is an important public health issue that needs to be addressed.
