How much do working Americans sleep? A CDC QuickStats from the National Health Interview Survey compared employed adults in 2008–2009 and 2017–2018 who said they sleep, on average, 6 hours or less in a 24-hour period.
The survey asked adults, "On average, how many hours of sleep do you get in a 24-hour period?" Working adults were grouped by the category that best described their current job or work situation; federal, state and local government employees were counted together as government employees. Only some categories are shown.

The numbers
| Employment category | 2008–2009 | 2017–2018 |
|---|---|---|
| All employed adults | 28.4% | 32.6% |
| Private sector employees | 29.5% | 33.3% |
| Government employees | 28.8% | 32.8% |
| Self-employed | 24.3% | 31.4% |
What changed
- More short sleepers overall. The share of employed adults averaging 6 hours or less rose from 28.4% to 32.6%.
- Every group rose. Short sleep increased among private sector employees, government employees and the self-employed alike.
- The gap narrowed. In 2008–2009 the self-employed were less likely than private sector and government employees to report short sleep. By 2017–2018 the differences between the groups were smaller, and not statistically significant.
Estimates come from household interviews of a sample of the civilian, noninstitutionalized U.S. population, from the Sample Adult component of the National Health Interview Survey; the chart shows 95% confidence intervals as error bars.
