Problems solved by technology

Nothing is so good for what ails us as a good night's sleep, but for an increasing number of Americans, a good night's sleep is hard to get.

So hard to get, reportedly, that sleep problems have become the number one health-related problem in the United States.

According to a recent study by the National Commission on Sleep Disorders, sleep deprivation costs the American economy $150 billion each year in higher stress and reduced worker productivity; and according to a CNN poll of medical professionals, sleep problems nationwide have reached epidemic proportions.

Lack of sleep leads to health problems including fatigue, obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, a shortened lifespan, suppressed immune systems and depression; and recent studies implicate sleep deprivation in diabetes.

But few are those who sleep well and straight through the night, every night.
