Sleep Hygiene

Hi All, Chrisy from the WWRT here. Here are some interesting sleep statistics for you to ponder- 16 to 18- hours per day, on average, a newborn baby sleeps. 3.5 hours of uninterrupted sleep, on average, a new mom gets per night. 70- number of Americans, in millions, who suffer from a sleep problem. The most common culprit? Insomnia, which affects up to 40 percent of adults each year. 6.9- hours of sleep Americans get per night, on average- a full hour less than a decade ago. $15.9- estimated cost, in billions, that sleep disorders and deprivation add to the nanual national health-care bill. 60- in decibels, the average volume of snoring- about the same volume as as normal conversation. No wonder 80 percent of snoring couples sleep in separate bedrooms! How is your sleep?? -Chrisy Muhler
