"If you don't get enough sleep you're more likely to have your mood affected, you're more likely to be anxious and irritable during the daytime. Your memory may be impaired and your reflex time may be impaired which is important for driving."

The same survey found that 69% of Americans want up to 4 more hours of sleep a night. To help fall asleep faster and sleep better, limit caffeine and try a warm bath before bedtime.
