Today’s Chart of the Day is from Bloomberg and shows the amount of sleep Americans are getting is less and less.

You can see that 20% of the population only sleeps for 5 hours or less.

The article notes that there are over 50 million Americans with sleep disorders which explains why there is a $500 billion industry dedicated to overcoming it. In the 2023 survey, the biggest reason given is the most obvious one - increased use of our smart phones.

Also interesting to note, look at the difference from 1942 (before TV was widely adopted) where 65% of the populate slept more than 8+ hours vs. only 25% today.
