Q: Are americans more sleep deprived that people from other parts of the world?

A: There have not been any good studies of sleep in other countries. Most of the research is just anecdotal.

People in many countries suffer from sleep deprivation. Go to the subway station in a country and see how many of the people are asleep. In Japan, this number is incredible.

Some countries have the siesta, but many do not use it! They are probably really sleep deprived, because often they still keep very late night hours.

Sleep deprivation is dangerous.
