Adherence
The prevalence of short sleep duration among US workers has significantly increased over the past two decades (1985-2007), despite stable or declining average weekly work hours.
Even if your total hours haven't changed, your sleep may be suffering due to 24/7 connectivity and shift work. Prioritize disconnecting from work devices before bed to protect sleep duration.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
the prevalence of short sleep duration was significantly lower during this earlier time period compared to 2004-2007 for 7 of 8 industrial sectors.
Why this rating
Large longitudinal comparison using NHIS data, though self-reported sleep is subject to bias.
