Boston (SmartAboutHealth) - According to a new study, many Americans are so sleep deprived that they are too tired to even have sex.

The study was carried out by researchers from the National Sleep Foundation, and focused on the sleeping habits of adults in America.

Researchers conducted their study by looking at a random sample of roughly 1,000 adults in the U.S.

All of the adults in the study were between the ages of 24 to 60, and honed in sleeping habits of various ethnic groups.

What researchers found was that overall, 25% of Americans were too tired to even have sex.

Sleep deprivation also kept many Americans from going out to family functions, parties, etc.

In regards to the breakdown in ethic groups, roughly 10% of whites suffered from insomia, the highest among all groups.

Sleep apnea was said to be the most prevalent among blacks when the breakdown was done.

The real factor here though beyond just the ethnic groups is just that many Americans are tired, and are not getting the necessary hours of sleep needed.

Researchers state that it is important to get into a routine before bed to get yourself prepared to get a good night’s sleep.
