According to the survey, 24 percent said that they found it hard to have a good sleep. And based on their responses, 31.6 percent were diagnosed(診斷) with insomnia(失眠) and another 17.5 percent were diagnosed with borderline insomnia. Besides, 30.7 percent reported visiting a doctor for help with sleep problems. And 11.6 percent said they had a feeling of needing sleep during the day.

The main causes: leading to these problems are stress from school or work and a fast pace of life. Noise pollution and light pollution also cause poor-quality sleep. The survey's finding are worrying because large numbers of people can't sleep well at night.

Overall, the survey showed that poor-quality sleep influences many people. Some can't fall asleep and they often wake up in the middle of the night. If this happens for a long time, there is a possibility that sleepless people will get fatter and have a heart attack.

There are many things you can do to improve the quality of your sleep. First, you should have good sleep habits. Try to go to bed and wake up around the same time each day. You also need to make your bedroom a cool, dark, quiet place to sleep so that heat, light and noise do not disturb you. At night, you should also avoid things with caffeine, such as chocolate, coffee, tea and many soft drinks, as caffeine may keep you from sleeping.
