Despite recently mandated reductions in medical student workload hours, a new study reveals the widespread presence of job stress, and sleep deprivation among physicians and nurses in teaching hospitals. When asked to keep a running account of work activity, patient load, and work stress using handheld computers, physicians reported much higher levels of work stress than nurses.
Common hassles at work are more likely than long hours, night shifts or job insecurity to follow workers home and interfere with their sleep.
That’s the conclusion of a University of Michigan study which was initially presented at the annual meeting of the Population Association of America.

As of May 2, 2009 at 9:47 p.m. (-0500) (ET), the U.S. population
was 306,340,710. Sleep researchers estimate approximately seven percent
of the population suffers from obstructive sleep apnea. Using that
estimate, there are potentially 21,443,850 apneics in the U.S.
