In 2017 to 2020, US adults showed variability in sleep habits between workdays and free days, with longer sleep duration and later sleep-wake phases on free days, and high percentages of US adults experienced long-term sleep deprivation, chronic social jet lag, and frequent sleep disturbances. These ...

    • Meaning: “These findings elaborate on sleep habits and disturbances among US adults and provide evidence to further investigate potential approaches to optimize overall US sleep health.”
    • In this cross-sectional study involving 9004 participants, researchers analyzed sleep habits and the prevalence of sleep disorders in U.S. adults between 2017 and 2020.
    • In total, 30.5% of adults demonstrated 1+ hours of sleep debt, 46.5% exhibited 1+ hour of social jet lag, 29.8% had trouble sleeping, and 27.2% experienced daytime sleepiness.
    • The prevalence of “trouble sleeping” and daytime sleepiness was higher than that of previous studies. Based on data from the National Health Interview Survey from 2002 to 2012, the prevalence of trouble sleeping rose from 17.5% to 19.2%, while excessive daytime sleepiness rose from % to 12.7%
    • One limitation of the current study is the self-reported nature of the data, which could result in recall bias. Another limitation is that participants with incomplete data were excluded, which could affect the extrapolation of results to the general population.
