One in five Americans has lost interest in sex

WASHINGTON (AFP) - One in five Americans has lost interest in sex -- and not because they have a headache, a study released Monday showed.

The culprit for the loss of libido is lack of sleep due to excessively long work hours and too much overtime, according to a study by the National Sleep Foundation (NSF).

"Longer work days and more access to the workplace through the Internet and other technology appear to be causing Americans to get less sleep," said Darrel Drobnich, head of the NSF, in a statement.

"Nearly 50 million Americans chronically suffer from sleep problems and disorders that affect their careers, their personal relationships and safety on the roads," Drobnich said.

The study showed that more than one-third of Americans -- 36 percent -- have fallen asleep at the wheel, and nearly two-thirds report having sleep problems, such as waking at night or difficulty falling asleep.

Americans sleep on average six hours and 40 minutes a night, or less than the seven hours, 18 minutes they said they needed, the study showed.

Of course the story is less exciting than the hook.  :-)

As a side note, how many (mostly) women will wave this in front of their husbands and now say they are overworked to justify the lack of nookie :whatever:

The good news is 2/3rds of Americans are doing just fine and 250 million Americans do not chronically suffer from sleep problems and disorders that affect their careers, their personal relationships and safety on the roads.   Isn't that great!?
