Sleepless in the South: Penn Medicine Study Discovers State and Regional Prevalence of Sleep Issues in the United States

Penn Medicine:

Researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have put sleeplessness on the map -- literally. The research team, analyzing nationwide data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has produced the first state-by-state sleep maps for the United States, revealing that residents of Southern states suffer from the most sleep disturbances and daytime fatigue, while residents on the West Coast report the least amount of problems. The results are published online in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine.
