abstract="When it comes to health and fitness, there's an app for just about everything. Want to track how many steps you've taken today? There's an app for that. Want to track the calories you've consumed? There's an app for that, too. And, if you want to know if you got a good night's sleep last night, well, now there's also an app for that. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention call sleep deprivation a national public epidemic. The National Institutes for Health report that the average American adult gets less than the recommended 7-8 hours a night, while an average of 60 million Americans have chronic sleep disorders. A lack of sleep is linked to increased accidents, risk of colds and infections, obesity, heart problems, and impaired learning according to the NIH National Heart, Blood and Lung Institute. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration attributes more than 100,000 car accidents a year to drowsy driving. And most people can confirm that a night of sleeplessness can lead to lower concentration and energy as well as increased irritability and fatigue.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
