The team at NapLab took a deep dive into factors that affect our sleep quality. Many adults have trouble getting enough good quality sleep, which is a big concern because sleep affects so many other areas of our health and well-being. The NapLab researchers picked some determining factors to create a sleep quality score. These factors included things like stress, depression rates, substance abuse rates, and even the amount of caffeine consumed.
They found that these states had the highest sleep quality scores:
- South Dakota
- Nebraska
- Utah
- Idaho
- Minnesota
- Iowa
- New Jersey
- Hawaii
- California
- Maryland
