Looking at disabilities by age shows that while mental health and neurodivergent conditions are the most common issues, hearing loss becomes more prevalent once you hit 60.
Some disabilities such as visual impairments are also more common among men, while mental health issues and chronic illnesses are over-represented among women.

Poor sleep was the most commonly reported health issue among respondents, possibly linked to the large role screens of all kinds play in our lives.
Some issues—such as mental health conditions and migraines—also affected women and non-binary respondents at higher rates than the overall population when examining the top six health issues by gender.
Link către secțiuneSleep Quantity
As expected, having kids does affect average sleep duration – although not as much as one might think.
Age also plays a role, with older respondents tending to sleep slightly less.
Link către secțiuneSleep Strategies
Respondents are trying a range of strategies to improve their sleep (consistent with “poor sleep” being the most commonly reported health issue) but these efforts don’t appear to influence median nightly sleep duration.
With sleep quantity being such a hard metric to nudge, it might be more effective to focus on sleep quality instead – although this is of course much harder to measure accurately.
