Falling asleep at your desk?

According to an infographic by termlifeinsurance.org, the average U.S. adult sleeps nearly 7 hours a night, but needs eight hours.
Two-thirds of Americans do not feel well-rested, which can have dire consequences. Drowsy driving causes one in five car accidents. Lifetime heart attack risk increases by 50 percent for an adult who averages less than six hours of sleep.
Here are more consequences of sleepiness:

• The average U.S. worker pays $20 a week for coffee.
• Getting less than six hours of sleep could add the equivalent of one cheeseburger a day to your diet.
• Risk of stroke increases four times for an adult over 45 who sleeps only six hours a night.

Experts suggest: turn off your cell phone, establish a nightly routine, and don’t use electronic devices 45 minutes before going to sleep.
