Sleep deprivation kills romance.

If your love life is on the rocks, maybe you should change your pillows. According to a new study, one in four Americans say are too tired at night to have sex.

Conducted by the National Sleep foundation, the study looked at the sleep habits of over 1,000 adults from the ages 25 to 60 based on their ethnic groups. No matter the ethnic background, the responses regarding sleep and sex were virtually the same.

Among the differences they did find:

10% of Blacks and Hispanics reported having sex within one hour before going to bed, compared to 4% of Whites and 1% of Asians.

Hispanics were more likely to lose sleep over worrying about work, family, health, money and relationships. About 3 in 8 had sleeping difficulties because they stayed up thinking about these things.

Whites were the most likely to be diagnosed with insomnia (1 in 10) and Blacks were the most likely to be diagnosed with sleep apnea (about 1 in 7).

Asian Americans reported having the best sleep of all, with an average of 5 out 6 saying they got a good night's sleep most days of the week.
