美国人的作息时间与健康的睡眠模式并不相符。此外，由于难以获得睡眠教育和治疗辅助手段，人们会做出有害睡眠的行为，并放弃对睡眠障碍的治疗。这造成了睡眠危机，这是一个公共卫生问题，对认知结果、心理健康、身体健康、工作表现和安全具有广泛影响。应制定新的公共政策来解决这些问题。我们根据科学文献提出以下建议：制定初高中推迟上课时间的国家标准，加强对工作时间和时间表的监管，取消夏令时，教育公众了解电子媒体对睡眠的影响，以及改善睡眠障碍的动态家庭诊断测试的机会。
The schedules that Americans live by are not consistent with healthy sleep patterns. In addition, poor access to educational and treatment aids for sleep leaves people engaging in behavior that is harmful to sleep and forgoing treatment for sleep disorders. This has created a sleep crisis that is a public health issue with broad implications for cognitive outcomes, mental health, physical health, work performance, and safety. New public policies should be formulated to address these issues. We draw from the scientific literature to recommend the following: establishing national standards for middle and high school start times that are later in the day, stronger regulation of work hours and schedules, eliminating daylight saving time, educating the public regarding the impact of electronic media on sleep, and improving access to ambulatory in-home diagnostic testing for sleep disorders.
