Do you live in a vibrant, upbeat, city that never sleeps type of place? Or do you live in a sleepy backwater place where everything gets done in its own time, eventually? We may think we know what kind of place we’re in, but the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) decided to check it out for sure and have come up with a ranking of the 50 states to see where the sleepiest people live.
Which state would you think is the most tired or the least rested? New York? California? No and no. Would you believe, Utah? Yup, Utah came in first, followed closely behind by Kentucky:
1. Utah
2. Kentucky
3. Illinois
4. Ohio
5. Vermont
6. West Virginia
7. New Hampshire
8. Missouri
9. Wisconsin
10. Oregon
Ok, so what about the most alert regions?
- Puerto Rico
- Guam
- Hawaii
- U.S. Virgin Islands
- Louisiana
- Florida
- New Mexico
- Arizona
- California
- South Carolina
