The wealthy and well-educated sleep more soundly than everyone else, reports PostMedia.

Seventy-six per cent of households with incomes over $100,000 get six to eight hours of sleep each night, finds a survey by the makers of Breathe Right nasal strips.

Low-income Canadians, who earn between $15,000 and $24,999 annually, are most likely to get less than six hours of sleep a night, reports PostMedia.

The more educated someone is, the more time they spend asleep, the survey indicates.

People with a high school, college or technical degree are most likely to get less than six hours of sleep each night, while university-educated people are most likely to get six to eight hours or more.
