Believe that you can properly function with ≤ 5 hours of sleep/ night? Guess again! The percentage of the population that can do so (rounded to a whole number) is ZERO (0)! #Sleep #HarvardSleeps

Lead researcher Professor Sean Drummond, from Monash's Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health, said results suggest a consumer device can play a role in diagnosing sleep issues. https://t.co/tngBVydCdt via @smh
