COLUMBUS, OH -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 26, 2007 -- What happens when consumers create their own survey? BIGresearch found out with their second annual Voice of the People Survey and it appears many are in need of a good night's sleep as only 24.2% said they get their required eight hours or more a night. A higher percentage of women said they got eight or more hours of sleep a night than did men (25.6% vs. 22.8%). People over the age of 55 had the highest percentage (27.7%) of those who got eight or more hours of sleep, while 35-54 year olds were the most sleep-deprived.

All of the questions in the survey were submitted by Respondents from BIGresearch's monthly Consumer Intentions & Actions (CIA) Survey Panel. "The Voice of the People Survey is designed to be a fun survey that allows respondents to conceive questions that may be of interest to them or simply something light that they want to gauge how others may answer," said Gary Drenik, President & CEO of BIGresearch.

Some of the other questions asked include:
