sleep deprivation

It’s all about us- the few, the proud, the American. Our values are different- family is no longer the centerpiece of life. We care about ourselves, and our image. Image is everything. Dress to impress. Image sells. Look your best. Work so hard that you don’t rest, then you can keep up with the best. Just tell me how great I am. Do it.

I'm better than all of you.
You can't keep up with me.
My kids are better than yours,
In our house with golden doors,
You'll never be up here to see.
Our lawn is perfect and green,
Our wardrobe always in style,
And if you say "I don't like to live that way"
We'll claim that you're just in denial.

What is it about American culture that causes us to lose sleep?

Sleep: that magical time between evening and morning when the body relaxes and rejuvenates. Unfortunately, for nearly 40% of Americans, this time is usually filled with tossing, turning, and frequent waking. These are textbook symptoms of insomnia, the most common sleep disorder in the United States.
