    Consequences of insufficient sleep.


    Insufficient sleep has been linked to the onset of and
    correlates with a number of chronic diseases and
    conditions, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease,
    obesity, and depression. Insufficient sleep also contributes
    to motor vehicle crashes and machinery-related accidents,
    causing substantial injury and disability each year.1

    How much sleep do we need?


    Although how much sleep is needed varies between
    individuals, most adults need 79 hours of sleep each
    night.2 More than a third of U.S. adults report sleeping less
    than 7 hours per night.3

    Why dont we get the sleep we need?


    Causes of insufficient sleep include lifestyle and
    occupational factors (e.g., access to technology and work
    hours).1 In addition, some medical conditions, medications,
    and sleep disorders affect the quantity and quality of sleep.1

    Getting the sleep we need.


    Good sleep practices are important for achieving healthy
    sleep.

    Sleep hygiene tips:


    Go to bed at the same time each night and rise at the
    same time each morning.
    Moderate physical activity may help promote sleep, but
    avoid vigorous exercise in the few hours before going to
    bed.
    Avoid large meals before bedtime.
    Avoid caffeine and alcohol close to bedtime.
    Avoid nicotine.

    *Percentage of adult population that reported 14 days of


    insufficient sleep in the past 30 days.

    For 20082009, 29.2% of Indiana adults reported not


    getting enough sleep on 14 days in the past 30 days. The
    map above presents the prevalence of insufficient sleep
    among Indiana adults by state region. For comparison, the
    national map below shows state-by-state adult prevalence
    of insufficient sleep.

    or Territory, 20082009

    The sleep environment:


    Your bedroom should be a quiet, dark, and relaxing
    environment, that is neither too hot nor too cold.
    Remove all TVs, computers, and other gadgets from the
    bedroom.
    Your bed should be comfortable and used only for
    sleeping and not for other activities, such as reading,
    watching TV, or listening to music.

    insufficient sleep among Indiana adults by sex, age,
    race/ethnicity, education, employment status, marital
    status, presence of children in the home, and body mass
    index (a measure of excess weight).
    The prevalence of self-reported insufficient sleep was
    higher among women (31.1%) than men (27.2%) (p<0.05).
    Respondents were more likely (p<0.05) to report
    insufficient sleep if they:
    Were aged 2534 (36.4%) or 3544 years (36.0%)
    compared to 45 years
    Were unable to work (53.5%) compared to other
    employment status categories
    Were divorced, widowed, or separated (31.9%) compared
    to married individuals (28.2%)
    Had a child living in the home (37.0%)
    Were obese (33.8%) compared to normal-weight (26.3%)
    or overweight individuals (27.5%)
    Respondents were less likely (p<0.05) to report insufficient
    rest or sleep if they:
    Were retired (15.0%) compared to other employment
    status categories
    Did not have a child living in the home (23.3%)
    There were no statistically significant differences in the
    prevalence of self-reported insufficient sleep for groups
    defined by race/ethnicity.
