With increasing climate change and rising economic uncertainties, getting some <\/span>decent shut-eye<\/b> has become a luxury for many. Still, if you thought <\/span>you <\/span><\/i>had it bad, wait \u2018till you hear how the residents of Rochester, NY, are doing.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to a recent social media study, Rochester is <\/span>the <\/span><\/i>most challenging place to fall asleep<\/b> on the entire planet!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After analyzing the location and frequency of countless sleep-stress-related phrases and keywords on Twitter posts, researchers deduced that this city has definitely seen better days, or should we say \u2014 nights.<\/span><\/p>\n

Terms like woke up, sleep, slept, and nap were evaluated with the help of the latest software <\/span>called TensStrength<\/span><\/a>. The analysis determined Rochester had a <\/span>whopping 55.21% sleep-stress rate<\/b>, the highest of any place.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, Chile was the second most sleep-stressed country, with 59.13% of sleep-related tweets, and Alabama was <\/span>the worst US state<\/b>, with a 63.43% sleep stress rate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet, it\u2019s not just insomnia that determines <\/span>the most sleep-deprived countries in the world<\/span><\/a> \u2014 it\u2019s actually the length of sleep. According to this, Japan and Saudi Arabia are at the very bottom of the list.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ever since the study was published, experts have wondered why it\u2019s so hard for the inhabitants of Rochester to get some restful sleep. Some believe that <\/span>weather patterns<\/span><\/a> and other <\/span>environmental factors are to blame<\/b>. But we can\u2019t say for sure.<\/span><\/p>\n

For people living in more densely populated metropolitan areas, noise and light pollution are the leading cause of restless nights. In fact, this occurrence is a well-defined sleeping disorder appropriately named \u2014 <\/span>environmental sleep disorder<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, not everyone is convinced by the study\u2019s finds. Many scientists believe that Rochester isn\u2019t an isolated case and that many more insomnia-ridden places are scattered around the globe.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
