## Resource

New research reveals a shocking truth: most of us are chronically sleep-deprived, getting far less than the recommended 7-9 hours—and it’s wreaking havoc on our health. A five-year study of 50,000 adults found widespread sleep issues, from poor quality to frequent interruptions, linked to serious conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and mental health struggles. The problem cuts across all ages and demographics, even impacting productivity and the economy. Sleep isn’t a luxury—it’s a non-negotiable pillar of health, and it’s time we treated it like one.
