Abstract

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society recommend adults sleep at least 7 hours a night (1); over one-quarter of adults do not meet this recommendation (2). Signs of good sleep quality include taking less time to fall asleep and not waking up often or for long periods (3). This report uses 2020 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data to describe the prevalence of sleep difficulties, defined here as trouble falling or staying asleep most days or every day in the past 30 days, among adults in the United States by sociodemographic and geographic characteristics.
