America hungers for...sleep!

From: Sleep Savvy
November/December 2005 Issue

USA Weekend and Allrecipes.com got a surprise when they polled Americans on food behavior. When they asked 1,000 adults between 25 and 74, “What is the most important factor in your happiness?,” 51% of women said “sleep.” Food was a distant second at 18%, and sex came in third at 14%.

Care to guess what came first with men? More than a third put sex at the top. But sleep beat out food for the second position, 26% to 21%.

“People derive the most happiness out of the things they have the hardest time getting,” Alison James, author of I Used to Miss Him…But My Aim is Improving, told USA Weekend (Sept. 30). “Women are always sleep-deprived. But for men, sex is a bigger challenge. To get it, they have to wine, dine and say all the right things – a tall order for a lovably lazy hubby.”

Tempur-Pedic’s Perspective:  Clearly, a good night’s sleep is foremost on a lot of people’s wish lists.  As Americans become increasingly sleep-challenged, the quality of our sleep takes on added importance.  Tempur-Pedic mattresses have proven to not only help people fall asleep faster, they also provide a deeper, more rejuvenating sleep that gives them more energy the next day.  Now, that’s food for thought!
