Read and watch her story about the new Center and how it’ll improve care for Veterans, and hear from Vietnam War Veteran.
 
About one-third of U.S. adults—around 30%—report getting less than the recommended seven hours of sleep per night. This can affect mood, energy and health, according to the World Health Organization.
What’s the problem?
Some people struggle to fall asleep, others wake up during the night, and some wake up earlier than they want. Even people who think they sleep fine may still get up feeling tired. How much sleep you need can change from person to person and throughout your life.
