New York isn\u2019t just the city that never sleeps \u2014 the whole state is bleary eyed.<\/p>\n

The Empire State has the drowsiest denizens<\/a> in the US, a new study found.<\/p>\n

Researchers analyzed demographic data from Google search results for over 400 different sleep deprivation-related terms and phrases.<\/p>\n

For every 100,000 residents, New York averages<\/a> 647.59 monthly searches for ways to combat insomnia, according to the findings, commissioned by mattress retailer Amerisleep. <\/p>\n

The key word with the most interest in the state was \u201cinsomnia,\u201d with an average of 24,650 monthly searches.<\/p>\n

Virginia had the second most residents running on fumes, with an average of 617.22 monthly searches per 100,000 people, followed by Hawaii, with an average monthly search count of 608.88. <\/p>\n

\u201cRestless leg syndrome\u201d was the most searched term for Virginians, while \u201csleep paralysis\u201d topped searches from the Aloha State.<\/p>\n

It was unclear, though, if Hawaii\u2019s results included searches from jet-lagged tourists.<\/p>\n

Massachusetts residents searched most for ways to stop \u201csnoring,\u201d and finished fourth sleepiest with an average of 605.51 monthly searches per 100,000 residents.<\/p>\n

Nevada rounded out the top 5 with an average of 603.42 monthly searches per 100,000 people. The most popular search term in the Silver State was simply \u201chow to fall asleep.\u201d<\/p>\n

The most well-rested<\/a> state in the union is Montana, according to the study, which looked at per capita results.<\/p>\n

Mississippi followed Montana, with an average of 443.64 monthly searches. Idaho finished 48th, with 451.21 monthly searches, while Arkansas clocked in at No. 47 with 460.82 searches on average per month.<\/p>\n

New Mexico was the fifth least sleep-deprived state, with an average of 470.00 47 searches each month.<\/p>\n

Locally, Connecticut was named the 15th sleepiest state, with an average of 582.91\u00a0monthly searches. And New Jersey was the 17th most sapped state, experiencing 567.71\u00a0average monthly searches for sleep issues.<\/p>\n

Long term sleep deprivation can be harmful to your health. fizkes \u2013 stock.adobe.com<\/p>\n

A press release from Amerisleep notes most people will occasionally\u00a0struggle to\u00a0fall asleep. <\/p>\n

Those with long-term sleep deprivation are at a higher risk of obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety.<\/p>\n

\u201cResearch shows that just a few nights of poor\u00a0sleep\u00a0can raise biomarkers associated with cardiovascular risk, and that insufficient\u00a0sleep\u00a0over time can significantly increase the chances of serious medical events, including heart attacks and stroke,\u201d the statement reads. <\/p>\n

\u201cEven short-term\u00a0sleep\u00a0loss can impair memory, mood, and concentration, increasing the risk of accidents and poor decision-making.\u201d <\/p>\n

The seasonal shift can also cause people to lose sleep.<\/p>\n

\u201cShifting schedules, residual heat, and early signs of seasonal stress can all interfere with regular\u00a0sleep,\u201d the statement explained. \u201cMaintaining a consistent bedtime and wake time, including\u00a0on weekends,\u00a0can help stabilize the body\u2019s internal clock. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the occasional\u00a0sleep-in can help recover from short-term deficits, long-term health depends on making quality\u00a0sleep\u00a0a daily priority.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New York isn\u2019t just the city that never sleeps \u2014 the whole state is bleary eyed.
