Over the past month, we closely examined the connection between stress and sleep to better understand how each affects one another. 

With a whopping 70% of adults in the U.S. claiming that they receive an insufficient amount of sleep at least one night a month, and 11% saying they do not get enough sleep every night, sleep disorders have been deemed a public health epidemic by the CDC.
