A new study released(发布) by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) indicates that adults in US are not getting enough rest each night, according to media reports Friday.
Of those questioned, 70 percent said they had not gotten enough rest or sleep every day of the past month.
The study, which surveyed adults in Delaware, Hawaii, New York and Rhode Island, found that a lack of sleep is a particular problem for younger adults.
Of those between 18 and 34, 13.3 percent lacked enough sleep every day, compared to 7.3 percent of adults over 55.
However, the study did not find much difference between races or sexes.
