Sleep expert at Benjamin Hotel shares tips
A good night's sleep is in your reach, says Dr. Rebecca Robbins, a sleep expert at the Benjamin Hotel.
"Sleep is essential for good health and quality of life," said researchers. "However, not everyone gets enough good night’s rest regularly. A number of factors determine a person’s quality of sleep and the environment could be one of them."
The year 2020 was the worst year ever for Americans’ sleep.
A study conducted late last year asked 2,000 Americans about their sleeping habits over the tumultuous year — and how they hoped to improve it in the new year. According to the study conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Hatch, 51% pinpointed 2020 as the worst year for sleep.
