New Sleep Health Report Reveals America's Sleep Care Gap

Despite 97% Recognizing Sleep's Importance, Only 7% Wake Up Well-Rested Daily, According to Landmark Survey from Sunrise's Digital Sleep Clinic, Dreem Health

America is grappling with a major sleep health crisis that impacts public health, workplace productivity, and overall quality of life — costing the U.S. economy $411 billion annually (RAND Corporation). A new report from Dreem Health, the leading digital sleep clinic managed by The Sunrise Group, reveals a clear paradox: while 97 percent of Americans recognize the importance of sleep, only 7 percent wake up feeling well-rested daily.

"The real issue is that patients don't know where to turn," says Dr. William Lu, Medical Director at Dreem Health. "If you break a leg, you go to the hospital. But when sleep becomes a struggle, most people assume it's just part of life or worse, something they're to blame for. They know sleep is important, but they don’t know where to turn for real help. That’s the sleep care gap we need to close — and that’s exactly what we’re solving with Dreem Health."

Stress and anxiety are the biggest culprits (54 percent) of sleep interruptions, followed by noise and light disturbances (44 percent) and snoring or breathing difficulties (21 percent) rounding out the top three factors stealing sleep from Americans. As a result, they face difficulty concentrating (41 percent), mood swings (40 percent) and anxiety (31 percent) during the time they’re awake.

"Understanding this gap is key,” adds Laurent Martinot, CEO of Sunrise. “What I've learned is that technology alone isn't the solution. What truly works is combining smart technology with expert care. That's precisely our vision with Dreem Health — we're uniting Sunrise's innovative technology with specialized care to help people finally turn awareness into a clear path to real sleep solutions.”

Other key findings from the 2025 State of Sleep Health Report include:

  • 24 percent of sleep-struggling Americans are actively looking for additional support, signaling a growing demand for accessible sleep care.
  • More than a third (35 percent) have taken prescription or over-the-counter sleep aids, including 13 percent who take medication regularly to sleep.
  • Only 38 percent of Americans are familiar with sleep apnea and its risks, highlighting the need for continued awareness and education.
  • Women report higher rates (41 percent) of sleep disturbances compared to just 34 percent of men.
  • Only 57 percent of GenZers and 55 percent of millennials are able to maintain regular sleep routines, lagging behind older generations.
  • One in five (22 percent) of low-income Americans report rarely or never feeling well rested, doubling those with higher incomes.
