Sleeping disorders are too common.

Insomnia is a common disorder that many people suffer with. Great Britain is one of the many countries that is realizing the impact lack of sleep has on individuals. A new report from the Mental Health Foundation exposed a sleep report of British people.

The sleep report was determined by a survey that was taken by random individuals. Sadly, the results are not a perfect representation of British sleeping habits as individuals chose to take the test rather than a sample group that represented all ages of males and females.

The survey determined several points about British sleep behavior. First, that people are not getting enough sleep. Results showed that men get better quality of sleep than women 61% versus 57%. Interestingly enough but not surprising insomnia or bad sleep quality is keenly linked to quality of health, those that recorded that they had poor quality of health rated their sleep quality 47% out of 100%.

Most surprisingly was the high statistic of people that have been dealing with some sort of sleeping disorder for several years. 79% of people that have sleeping disorders have been dealing with it for 2 years, 30% of participants have been dealing with it for 2-5 years and 25% have had it for more than11 years.

As sad as these results are they are not surprising, people have been depriving themselves of a good nights sleep for decades. Sadly, people overlook the detrimental damage of sleep loss, the focus is always directed on healthy diet and exercise and yet quality of sleep had just as much impact on ones health.

The survey was unable to determine how much sleep a person needs but experts suggest that individuals discover their personal sleep needs.

In order to get more sleep, sleep must become a priority. Make sleep a priority and save your health.
