Do you stay wake all night until the early morning hours, staring at the darkness, tossing and turning in bed trying to catch some sleep? You are not alone.
The majority of Americans get an average of 6.7 hours of sleep per night, which is far less than the ideal figure recommended by the experts. According to the CDC, around 70 million Americans suffer from sleep deprivation and other chronic sleep problems.
