Did you know?
Every night about two million Australian adults experience sleep disturbance caused by insomnia, the most common sleep disorder.
While the amount of sleep we need varies from person to person and changes throughout our lives, most adults need 7-9 hours’ sleep each night.
24 hours without sleep is equivalent to having a blood alcohol content of 0.08%.
