"More than half of
American women (60%) say they only get a good night’s sleep
a few nights per week or less and 67% say they frequently
experience a sleep problem. Additionally, 43% say that
daytime sleepiness interferes with their daily activities.
Women’s lack of sleep affects virtually every aspect of
their time-pressed lives, leaving them late for work,
stressed out, too tired for sex and little time for their
friends."

50% of Americans admit
to driving when sleepy.
20% admit to falling
asleep at the wheel...
As
you, your family and friends load the car and
prepare to drive across town or across the country
to share the holidays loved ones, millions of
Americans are joining you. Some of them have had
inadequate sleep from packing late into the night,
working long hours or simply not being able to sleep
from all the excitement.
Others may be
struggling with untreated sleep disorders.
Sadly, one
of them may injure or kill you or someone you love.
You may even become the killer.
In a recent National Sleep Foundation's (NSF) Sleep
in America poll, more than half of the
Americans contacted admitted to driving when they
were fatigued at least once within the last year,
and nearly one in five admitted to having fallen
asleep at the wheel.
Don’t let this be you.
You can help by
supporting NSF’s Campaign to Prevent Drowsy
Driving.
Please make your
contribution online today. You
can also send
NSF e-cards
to your family,
friends
and colleagues.
Please drive safely and have a wonderful
Thanksgiving holiday with the best wishes of the
National Sleep Foundation. |
You
Can Help NSF by doing the following:
-
If you have
not had adequate sleep, don't drive. If you
feel drowsy on the road, stop driving and find a
safe place to sleep.
