The survey finds that one in three U.S.

adults is not sleeping enough.

That leaves some feeling lethargic, prone to accidents, and also facing increased risks of diabetes, depression, and stroke.

Dr. James Rowley is a sleep specialist at Rush University in Chicago who's not affiliated with the report.

Rowley says much of the time spent doom scrolling could be better spent sleeping when the brain repairs itself.

He says those who struggle to fall asleep or to stay asleep regularly should seek medical care in case there's a root cause that can be addressed.

But a lot of people don't have insomnia issues and could go to bed earlier if they chose to do so.
