RB8_8    This paper provides epidemiological data on sleep quality of Midwesterners. Data are from the AARP’s healthy living survey conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago. The online and telephone survey, fielded during April 3 thru April 18, 2024, polled 1,610 US adults age 40 and above. Data analysis reveals that to overcome sleep issues, respondents in the metro spend $117 per month, on average, on sleep aids such as medicine and therapy. The same number for the nonmetro is $22. Other tactics that people use to get quality sleep include using the bed only for sleep, avoiding caffeine and alcohol.
