The National Center on Sleep Disorders Research—progress and promise

[摘要] Mounting scientific evidence links sleep deficiency and sleep disorders to pathobiology in almost every human tissue. Chronic disease and lifestyle factors (e.g. work schedules) are associated with sleep deficiency, disruptions in circadian rhythm, and residual fatigue in an estimated 15%–30% of the general adult population. Economic analyses indicate that the US sustains the highest economic losses world-wide ($411 billion annually, or about 2.3% of gross domestic product) from the repercussions of sleep deficiency including disease burden, lost productivity and accidents, and an array of social determinants underlying health and health disparities [1].
