Energy drinks sales linked to sleep deprivation

Research suggests around half of consumers are not getting enough sleep

Sleep deprivation among British adults has helped one independent retailer see record demand for energy drinks.

Research from Mintel suggests 39% of adults are getting just under the recommended seven hours of sleep a night, while 5% get just four hours.

Mintel personal care analyst Hera Crossan said: “Britain’s sleep deprivation problem is now an epidemic – half of consumers are not getting the sleep we need or struggle to find time to go to bed.”

Anita Nye, of Premier Eldred Drive Stores in Orpington, said: “We sell 100 cans a day. Our shoppers are families whose daily lives impact resting hours.”
