Baby Boomers Losing Sleep

According to Research by the National Sleep Foundation, the average American spends six hours 40 minutes sleeping a night, close to the recommended seven to nine hours. But according to a poll by the Better Sleep Council, one segment of America’s population is doing far worse. According to the poll, 43 percent of Baby Boomers, Americans aged 44 to 62 years old, get six hours of sleep or less every night, and 55 percent of them have difficulty falling asleep at least one night a week, with 15 percent reporting difficulty falling asleep every night. After financial concerns and family worries, what is the most common complaint?

About 18 percent of Baby Boomers report that they don’t get enough sleep because their significant other snores or tosses and turns. No wonder so many of them are moving into separate bedrooms. But it doesn’t have to be this way. If you snore or if your loved one snores, you may be able to get relief with oral appliance therapy.

These days, there is enough to worry about with the economy and financial stress, and with everyone getting older, family worries just keep multiplying. Don’t let snoring keep you awake at night.
