The National Sleep Foundation commissioned WB&A Market Research to conduct a national survey among adults 55 to 84 years of age living in the United States — the 2003 Sleep in America poll. The primary objective of this poll was to describe the relationships between sleep, common medical conditions and other aspects of health and lifestyle. The following information was obtained about the 55 and older age group: • Sleep behaviors and sleep problems; • Diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders; • Frequency and impact of daytime sleepiness and drowsy driving; and • The association between sleep and medical/physical conditions, as well as mood, outlook and lifestyle factors. What follows are the results of the 2003 Sleep in America poll. (Author/publisher)
