In spite of what we tell ourselves when the Internet keeps us up late for no reason at all, we all need sleep -- and chances are we’re not getting enough. In fact, our lack of sleep is practically killing us. As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention noted in their Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System surveys, a lack of concentration or sluggishness at work or school the next day is the least of your worries if you’re sleep-deprived: not getting enough rest has been linked to increased risk for several chronic diseases including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity and depression.

This could all lead to a permanent case of shut-eye.

Silk created an interactive database highlighting the states that reported the highest percentage of sleep deprived residents. Using data collected from the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reports, there were 12 states where at least 27 percent of residents said they had less than seven hours of sleep. Hawaii had the highest number of participants who said they had less than seven hours of sleep at 44 percent. New York (40.7 percent), Maryland (39.9 percent), Georgia (36.9 percent) and Illinois (36.1 percent) rounded out the top 5.Each of the Silk maps are interactive and clicking on the bubbles will reveal more sleep-related data.

Insufficient sleep also affects concentration, memory and work habits. Nodding off during the day or behind the wheel is also another problematic consequence of our sleep deprived nation. Based on the CDC reports, 4.5 percent of participants between the ages of 18 and 25 said they fell asleep while driving in the past month and 7.2 percent of individuals between the ages of 25 and 35 nodded off while driving.

So how much sleep should you get? Children should get at least 10 hour of sleep while teens should get at least 9 to 10 hours of sleep. For adults, a solid seven to eight hours of sleep is recommended. If you're having trouble falling asleep, chances are you need to change some pre-bed habits. The National Sleep Foundation suggests sticking to the same bedtime while avoiding bright lights and other stimuli. Yes, that means putting away your phone and not checking Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and anything else while in bed.
