Is There a Sleep Loss Epidemic in Industrialized Nations?

Walker: I've received numerous messages from many people who are well versed in sleep sleep researchers sleep scientists etc. One of my favorites, Walker writes you said on page four, the World Health Organization has now declared a sleep loss epidemic throughout industrialized nations. This claim was actually relatively easy to disprove because it references a documentary by National Geographic called sleeplessness in America. And so I just watched the documentary, and you just never mentioned any sleep loss epidemics."
