What bothered me about it was that they're stating it's everyone doing these things, but I think it's probably a small minority.
Someone sourced a couple higher in the comments. Their info showed 2% of the populous doing what "literally everyone" is doing. The other stat they included was 80% of the populous had never used a sleep aid in their life. So the talk of it being hyperbole is even a stretch.
Saying literally everyone in the U.S. is a cigarette smoker would be more accurate. (Not accurate)
