The worst place to live if you want to get a good night’s sleep? Hawaii.
Just 56 percent of adults in Hawaii report getting at least seven hours of sleep a night. That’s the worst rate for any state in the United States, according to new data from the CDC. If you want to hit your snooze button a few more times, consider moving to South Dakota, home of the lengthiest snoozes in the nation. There, nearly 72 percent get at least seven hours of slumber a night.
Across the country, 1 in 3 adults doesn’t get seven solid hours of sleep each night. The National Institutes of Health says that adults need between seven and eight hours to stay healthy. That’s much more likely to happen if you’re living in the Great Plains than in the southeastern United States, it turns out.
