BusinessWeek’s Latest Cover Story Reveals Harmful Effects of Troubled Sleep

January 28, 2004

82 Million Americans Labeled Troubled Sleepers

BusinessWeek’s latest cover story (January 26, 2004), “I Can’t Sleep,” is an extraordinary, eye-opening descent into the world of troubled sleep. The extensive article reports that 82 million Americans—nearly 40% of the teen and adult population—routinely have trouble falling asleep. And only 32% of Americans get the recommended eight hours of sleep on weeknights, according to the National Sleep Foundation. The results of this epidemic are catastrophic:

70,000 highway accidents with injuries per year

1,550 highway deaths per year a reliance on drugs to assist sleep, and an estimated $45 billion in costs to our economy.

“All Nikken Wellness Consultants should hear the world’s cry for help and respond by sharing the benefits of our sleep technology,” says Bob Richards, Nikken director of sales. “I implore you to read this article and continue your mission to implement Wellness Homes around the world.”

The effects of this epidemic are felt not just in the home. The article points out that nearly half of all office workers sleep poorly at least a few times per week and more than 65% say they have trouble concentrating after a sleepless night, according to the National Sleep Foundation.

How Can Nikken Help?

Nikken sleep technology is designed to give exactly what the article points out is missing: a quality night’s sleep. With ergonomic design, correct support and Far-Infrared and Magnetic Technologies, Nikken sleep systems provide the comfort that people around the world are lacking. BusinessWeek labels these people as being “…part of a giant and growing class: worn-out, dragged-out denizens of a sleep-robbed netherworld.” Nikken can help.
