This Affects You! A significant number of people suffer from sleep-related problems, including insomnia and chronic sleep deprivation, with at least one-third of older adults being affected. In the United States alone, an estimated 60 million Americans suffer from chronic sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation can lead to a range of problems, including drowsiness during tasks that require high levels of attention, such as driving, which can result in accidents. In 2020, around 700 drowsy-driving deaths were reported in the US. Moreover, the widespread use of electronic devices with screens has led to an increase in ocular symptoms and problems, such as Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), which affects a significant percentage of engineering students, with 81.9% reported to suffer from this condition.
