• “Science says that humans need around 7-8 hours of sleep per night,
  and it takes approximately 7 minutes to fall asleep. In 1942, 8 hours of sleep was the norm, now 6.8 is the average. This highlights a worrying rise in sleep deprivation throughout the world. (Leigh Horan, co.UK).”

• There are five cycles per night, lasting approximately 90 minutes. After a week lacking just one hour of sleep, a person will have accumulated the equivalent of one whole night of sleep debt. That is why 72% of Americans use weekends to make up for the sleep they lost during the week. (Travel Agent Central, 2018)

• Sleep deprivation weakens the immune system, is linked to heart disease, strokes, obesity or Type II diabetes, as not sleeping well makes your insulin resistance grow. Poor sleep impacts many chemicals in your body, inducing serotonin deficiencies that can lead to anxiety and possible depression. (Markets and Markets, 2019)

• Worldwide data suggests that sleep apnea impacts more than 936 million people worldwide (Sleep deprivation causes daytime sleepiness and fatigue and may lead to conditions such as hypertension, ischemic heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.). (Markets and Markets, 2019)
