(Rachel Lau/ Global News) — Sleep can be an elusive concept that is often lost on Quebecers, according to a recent survey by Léger Marketing.
According to the study, conducted online from Dec. 5 to 8, 2016 with responses from 1,523 Canadians, one in four Quebecers don’t get the recommended seven to nine hours of sleep a night for adults.
“It’s not easy to get a rejuvenating six full hours of sleep,” explained Julie Marchand, life coach and wellness specialist.
The study revealed that about 89 per cent of Quebecers say “racing thoughts” prevent them from getting a good night’s sleep.
About 62 per cent of respondents said they have difficulty slowing down their minds when they go to bed, with 69 per cent of women and 54 per cent of men blaming it for the reason they can’t fall asleep. (…)
