Gen X Women Get Less Sleep Than Any Other Generation. What ’s Keeping Them Up?
In the middle of the night, I wake up feeling warm. I open the window and pull my hair back into a ponytail and drink some water. Then I glance at my phone, delete a few things, and see some spam. I hit unsubscribe and go back to bed. Then I lie there thinking, What if by opening that spam email I got myself hacked? What if I just sent everyone in my contact list a Burger King ad at two in the morning? Now wide awake, I move on to other concerns: my parents’ health, my stepson’s college tuition, pending deadlines. Hours roll by. I tackle real-life math problems: how many weeks I have before getting my next free...

I am behind the wheel of a Nissan Leaf, circling a parking lot, trying not to let the day’s nagging worries and checklists distract me to the point of imperiling pedestrians. Like all drivers, I am unwittingly communicating my stress to this vehicle in countless subtle ways: the strength of my grip on the steering wheel, the slight expansion of my back against the seat as I breathe, the things I mutter to myself as I pilot around cars and distracted pedestrians checking their phones in the parking lot. “Hello, Corinne,” a calm voice says from the audio system. “What’s stressing you out right n...

Comment on: Insurance-mandated weight management program completion before bariatric surgery provides no long-term clinical benefit
By 2030, 1 in 2 American adults is projected to have obesity and 1 in 4 clinically severe obesity. Obesity represents a serious public health issue because it is a major risk factor for many major, noncommunicable diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cancer, and independently predicts overall mortality. The burden of obesity on medical spending is also significant, with $1861 in excess annual medical costs per adult with obesity and $3097 per adult with severe obesity —accounting for $173 billion annually in the United States [1].
