The big drug companies have always been known to take advantage of what ever illness was sweeping over America in the past, and this new sleep-depravation epidemic is no exception. There has been all kinds of new sleeping drug, and apparatuses to enhance your sleep. These companies have made millions of dollars on these new schemes, and in this work-aholic society were the less you sleep the more money you can make, there is no lack of customers. The numbers are on the rise, the number of Americans who say they sleep less than six hours a night–16% in 2005, compared with 12% in 1998. Americans are buying into this scheme until we slow down and take our sleep seriously these companies will continue to profit on our sleepless stress filled nights.
