(PR) WASHINGTON, DC – The 2010 Sleep in Amer­ica poll released today by the National Sleep Foun­da­tion (NSF) reveals sig­nif­i­cant dif­fer­ences in the sleep habits and atti­tudes of Asians, Blacks/​African-​​Americans, His­pan­ics and Whites. It is the first poll to exam­ine sleep among these four eth­nic groups.

The poll shows that all groups report dis­turbingly sim­i­lar expe­ri­ences miss­ing work or fam­ily func­tions because they were too sleepy (19–24%). Among mar­ried peo­ple or cou­ples liv­ing together, all eth­nic groups report being too tired for sex fre­quently (21– 26% of the time).
