Your residential area might significantly influence your sleep patterns.
Recent findings from Innerbody highlight that sleep deprivation varies across different regions in the United States.

The researchers focused on five key metrics that can affect sleep: physical activity levels, obesity rates, alcohol consumption, mental distress prevalence, and environmental factors like noise and light pollution.

Following Honolulu in this concerning statistic are Norfolk, Virginia; New Orleans, Louisiana; Detroit, Michigan; and Huntsville, Alabama.
In terms of overall sleep quality, Memphis, Tennessee received the lowest marks, with New Orleans, Norfolk, Cincinnati, Ohio, and Corpus Christi, Texas close behind.
While some cities struggle with sleep deprivation, others are managing to secure healthier sleep patterns.
