The document analyzes the effects of insufficient sleep on length of life and the role of insurance. It finds that counties with higher rates of uninsured residents had higher levels of physical and mental distress compared to similar counties with lower uninsurance. While the relationship between insufficient sleep and life expectancy was not statistically significant, counties with lower uninsurance tended to have lower distress levels, which can lead to better sleep and longer life. Overall, the document concludes that sleep greatly impacts length of life and lack of insurance is linked to poorer health outcomes.
