A new 2026 report by the National Sleep Foundation, supported by Tempur-Pedic, finds that most U.S. adults sleep only 6.5 to 7 hours per night, below the recommended 7 to 9 hours. The report combines a nationally representative survey with data from more than 190 million nights captured through Tempur-Pedic Sleeptracker-AI technology, a first-of-its-kind pairing. Key findings show 70% of adults report difficulty staying asleep, 61% cannot calm their minds at bedtime, and 47% experience physical discomfort that disrupts sleep. Sleeptracker-AI data reveals sleep efficiency consistently around 90%, exceeding the National Sleep Foundation's benchmark of 85%, but disruptions remain common. The report identifies racing thoughts, physical discomfort, environmental factors, and snoring as primary causes of poor sleep quality.
