Survey says: 9 out of 10 Malaysians suffer from sleep problems

Snoring, which reportedly affects 29 of Malaysians, not only disturbs your partners sleep, as seen in this filepic posed by models, but also affects your own rest.

We spend around a third of our lives doing it. And more than water and food, we need it, or we will quickly start to experience negative mental and emotional effects. After all, there is a reason why sleep deprivation is considered a torture method.

Unfortunately, many of us Malaysians seem to be doing this to ourselves, with many not even aware that they have a problem in the first place! According to a national sleep survey done by Nielsen Malaysia this year, nine in 10 Malaysians (89%) suffer from one or more sleep problems.
