金融危机，人心惶惶。整天担心自己的工作是否还能做下去，兜里的钱还够花多少日子。
心事重重的，当然睡觉的质量也就下降了不少，甚至还可能导致失眠。
If a good night's sleep seems like a faint memory, blame the economy. 1/3 of Americans are losing sleep over their concerns about their personal finances or the economy according to the National Sleep Foundation.
"We’re seeing a combination of people, people who have had longstanding problems with their sleep, who report that their sleep is getting worse because of the added stress of the economy as well as people who are coming in saying that they've never had sleep problems before."
Prescriptions for sleep medications are at a record high, topping 56 million in 2008, and up 54% since 2004. But if pill popping doesn't sound like the solution, consider a good, old-fashioned Powernap.
"You can nap in response to sleep loss, so after the fact, or you can nap in anticipation of sleep loss because only sleep can replace sleep."And napping may be just the ticket. Business is booming here at Yellow Wellness. But believe it or not, people in Manhattan will pay nearly $30 for a 40-minute nap.
"It's been a really interesting change in terms of consumer behavior. Before September, a lot of people were coming here and saying, you know, 'I need that I'd like to get a nap'. And now what's been happening is that people actually needs their nap. It's become a real necessity in people's life.
"I just think it makes a real difference first of all in my work, I do a better job, which means that I'm gonna get a better bonus, and I'm not gonna burn now."2/3 of adults see sleepiness interferes with their concentration and makes handling stress on the job more difficult. Regulars here say the fee to sleep is a small price to pay to overcome exhaustion.
"Coming here, spending the money, taking a nap allows me to kinda burn the candle at both ends."
