Longer Days Bring Outdoor Fun, But Tiredness Creeps In For Many Adults

Nearly 60% of people report that being tired affects their mood, 53% say the lack of sleep increases stress and anxiety levels, and 42% say work productivity is affected.

Another key takeaway from the study is that adults aged 25-34 (nearly 30%) and 35-44 (31%) are the most likely age groups to say that relationships are an area of their lives affected by sleepiness.

Even if it's trying to relax a little bit earlier, staying off your phone before bed, and getting an extra 10 minutes of sleep, it's something. Hopefully, over time, it'll help, and you'll eventually feel more refreshed!
