Yet, according to the 2011 Sleep in America poll conducted by the National Sleep Foundation, 60% of the respondents reported experiencing sleep-related problems every night or almost every night. If left untreated, sleep-related disorders may have significant adverse consequences.Not only is insufficient sleep often responsible for motor vehicle and machinery-related accidents, but it is also linked to the development of a broad range of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and depression.
