Signal About one-third of US adults report insufficient sleep

Summary

GWI's Sleep Initiative sets its discussion of AI and sleep against a wider public health problem. Citing the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it reports that around a third of American adults say they do not get enough sleep. Millions more are living with sleep disorders, including insomnia and sleep apnea, that have never been diagnosed. The Initiative presents these figures as the challenge that AI-driven sleep technologies are trying to address. Such tools aim to make monitoring and improving sleep more accessible, personal and scalable. The figure also frames the Initiative's view that sleep is becoming a central part of personal health management.
