ResMed's Fifth Annual Global Sleep Survey Reveals a World Struggling with Poor Sleep
7 out of 10 employed respondents have called in sick at least once in their career due to poor sleep.
18% of couples reported sleeping in separate rooms due to snoring and restlessness.
Women report fewer quality sleep nights and more difficulties falling asleep than men.
SAN DIEGO, Feb. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ResMed (NYSE: RMD, ASX: RMD), a global health technology leader focused on sleep, breathing, and care delivered in the home, today unveiled the findings of its fifth annual Global Sleep Survey. With insights from 30,026 respondents across 13 markets, the study underscores a widespread global sleep crisis, with people losing an average of nearly three nights of restorative sleep each week.
Despite a trend towards growing awareness of sleep's importance, many continue to suffer in silence and remain trapped in a cycle of exhaustion. The research reveals that nearly one in four (22%) respondents choose to just live with poor sleep rather than seek help. With poor sleep found to impact our lives, from work1, to relationships2, and mental health, there is an urgent need for increased awareness and action on sleep health.
A World Without Rest
About one-third of survey respondents report difficulty falling or staying asleep three or more times per week, citing stress (57%), anxiety (46%), and financial pressures (31%) as primary disruptors. While well-rested individuals experience improved mood, concentration, and productivity, those struggling with poor sleep report excessive daytime sleepiness, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. Yet few take proactive steps to improve their sleep health:
89% of respondents believe sleep makes them feel better about themselves, but only 24% would take immediate action to address sleep issues.
22% globally, and up to 41% in Australia, chose to 'just live with' poor sleep.
45% do not track their sleep, missing valuable insights that could improve sleep quality.
'Sleep is as vital to health as diet and exercise, yet millions struggle in silence,' said Carlos M. Nunez, M.D., ResMed's Chief Medical Officer. 'This research highlights an urgent gap in awareness and action—one that needs immediate attention, to improve global health outcomes.'
Poor Sleep: The Hidden Drain on Workplace Productivity
Quality sleep directly impacts workplace performance, but many employees struggle due to sleep deprivation:
A staggering 71% of employed respondents globally have called in sick due to poor sleep at least once in their career, with the highest rates in India (94%), followed by China (78%), Singapore (73%), and the U.S. (70%).
Nearly half (47%) of the workforce surveyed feel that their sleep health isn't a priority for their employers, presenting an opportunity for employer initiatives to encourage healthy sleep habits.
Bedtime Blues: Sleep Impacts Relationships
Responses from the survey suggest that sleep may play an important role in the health of our relationships:
18% of couples permanently opt for a 'sleep divorce,' choosing to sleep apart due to snoring and restlessness.
Among those who sleep separately, 31% reported improved relationships, while 30% feel theirs have worsened.
Sleep separation also impacts intimacy — 28% say their sex life has improved, while 22% report the opposite.
Sleep Quality Isn't Equal Across Genders
Women experience poorer sleep quality than men:
Women report fewer nights of quality sleep than men (3.83 nights vs. 4.13 nights) per week.
38% of women struggle to fall asleep compared to 29% of men.
Hormonal changes—particularly menopause—are a significant but often overlooked factor affecting sleep, with 44% of menopausal women reporting difficulty falling asleep at least three times per week, compared to 33% of non-menopausal women.
Take Action on Sleep Health
'Chronic poor sleep impacts our relationships, workplace productivity, and increases the risk of cognitive decline, mood disorders, and serious health conditions like heart failure and stroke,' added Dr. Nunez. 'For individuals with untreated or poorly managed sleep apnea, these risks are even greater. That's why talking with a doctor about treating disrupted sleep is important.'

USANA's Kevin Guest Shares 7 Daily Habits for Lasting Health, Harmony for National Wellness Month
SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 4, 2025 /CNW/ -- With August marking National Wellness Month, Kevin Guest, Executive Chairman of USANA Health Sciences (NYSE: USNA), is encouraging people to embrace small daily habits that lead to lasting wellness mentally, physically, and emotionally. "Wellness isn't something you check off a list; it's a rhythm you live," said Guest, author of All the Right Reasons: 12 Timeless Principles for Living a Life in Harmony. "You don't have to overhaul your life. But if you shift a few daily choices, you'll be amazed by how much calmer, clearer, and more energized you feel." Along with exercise, proper nutrition, service to others, and a passion for music, Guest outlines seven daily habits that support long-term well-being and harmony. Start with Stillness: Whether through meditation, prayer, or a few deep breaths in a quiet place, "Five minutes of quiet can reset your entire day," Guest said. "Stillness creates clarity." Fuel with Intention: "You can't chase your dreams on junk fuel," he said. "What you feed your body determines your energy, resilience, and mood." Move Every Day: "You don't need a gym membership to move. Take a walk. Stretch. Dance in your kitchen. Your body was made to move," Guest added. Speak Kindly, Especially to Yourself: "I almost missed my first Grand Ole Opry performance because of self-doubt," Guest recalled. "That inner voice matters. Make sure it's a kind one." Choose Connection: Wellness is more than solo self-care. "Strong relationships are essential. In fact, I've found relationships are the most important thing," he wrote in All the Right Reasons. "Surround yourself with people who lift you up. Also, be there for them." Protect Your Yes: "It's not selfish to rest," said Guest. "When you overcommit, you burn out, so it's okay to say no to anything that doesn't light you up. In reality, boundaries are one of the highest forms of self-respect." End With Gratitude: A daily gratitude practice doesn't have to be long, he said. "Name three things you're thankful for. It rewires your brain toward peace." Guest's insights align with National Wellness Month's mission to inspire proactive steps toward better health. "It's not about perfection, it's about participation," he said. "In reality, everyone deserves a life that feels good to live." As shared in All the Right Reasons, many of Guest's habits are rooted in real-life experiences, from boardroom presentations to backstage nerves. "I've stood at literal and figurative crossroads where anxiety almost beat me down," he said. "From my first performance at Grand Ol' Opry to presenting in front of a packed arena, I've felt the damage of negative self-talk, but I've learned that preparation, purpose, and small daily acts create confidence that lets you share your gifts confidently and lift others higher." More inspiring examples of learning from mistakes and living well are shared throughout All the Right Reasons, where all proceeds go to feeding hungry children. Each book purchase provides 40 meals.

Pediatrix Medical Group beat analysts' revenue expectations by 1.6% last quarter, reporting revenues of $458.4 million, down 7.4% year on year. It was a very strong quarter for the company, with an impressive beat of analysts' same-store sales estimates and a solid beat of analysts' EPS estimates. Is Pediatrix Medical Group a buy or sell going into earnings? Read our full analysis here, it's free. This quarter, analysts are expecting Pediatrix Medical Group's revenue to decline 7.9% year on year to $464.4 million, a deceleration from its flat revenue in the same quarter last year. Adjusted earnings are expected to come in at $0.42 per share. The majority of analysts covering the company have reconfirmed their estimates over the last 30 days, suggesting they anticipate the business to stay the course heading into earnings. Pediatrix Medical Group has missed Wall Street's revenue estimates four times over the last two years. Looking at Pediatrix Medical Group's peers in the healthcare providers & services segment, some have already reported their Q2 results, giving us a hint as to what we can expect. The Ensign Group delivered year-on-year revenue growth of 18.5%, beating analysts' expectations by 0.7%, and CVS Health reported revenues up 8.4%, topping estimates by 5.1%. The Ensign Group traded up 8.7% following the results while CVS Health's stock price was unchanged. Read our full analysis of The Ensign Group's results here and CVS Health's results here. Debates over possible tariffs and corporate tax adjustments have raised questions about economic stability in 2025. While some of the healthcare providers & services stocks have shown solid performance in this choppy environment, the group has generally underperformed, with share prices down 4.3% on average over the last month. Pediatrix Medical Group is down 10.9% during the same time and is heading into earnings with an average analyst price target of $17.14 (compared to the current share price of $11.98).
