Sleep Disorders and Sleep Deprivation: A Public Health Report

50 to 70 million Americans are estimated to chronically suffer from sleep disorders, according to an Institute of Medicine committee report. The report details the wide-ranging health consequences and calls for increased workforce and research capacity in sleep medicine. It originates from the paperswithcode platform and discusses the fragmentation of current research and clinical care.

Use Cases

• Studying the association between sleep deprivation and chronic health conditions like hypertension and diabetes mentioned in the description.
• Investigating workforce and research capacity gaps in the field of sleep medicine as outlined in the report.
• Identifying interdisciplinary research and clinical care needs for sleep programs in academic institutions.

Strengths

• Provides a specific public health burden estimate of 50 to 70 million affected Americans.
• Cites a wide range of associated health consequences, including hypertension, diabetes, and depression.
• References an authoritative source, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Committee on Sleep Medicine and Research.
