New Yorkers Are Running on Empty: We’re Tossing, Turning, and Totally Tired

So did you wake up this morning and still feel EXHAUSTED! Well, you are not alone and a new sleep study from MattressNextDay has confirmed it. According to their Sleep Hygiene Report, New York residents are averaging just a little over 6 1/2 hours (6.52) of sleep a night, under the recommended seven.

Toilet Trips, Thirst, and That Thing You Forgot to Do
Turns out, we’re not just sleeping less but we’re waking up nearly three times a night. The biggest culprit? 65% of people said they get up to use the bathroom. Another 24% are thirsty, while 19% say they wake up thinking about tomorrow’s to-do list I can relate to that last one.

Only a Quarter Feel Rested (Which Explains a Lot)
Only 27% of New Yorkers say they wake up actually feeling rested. Meanwhile, 1 in 5 say they never feel fully rested, which explains all the yawning at work.

No Set Bedtime = No Chance
Almost 1 in 5 of us admit we don’t stick to a regular bedtime during the week. Sleep expert Martin Seeley says inconsistent sleep routines make it even harder for our bodies to wind down. Especially when you’re lying in bed at midnight wondering if you left the stove on.

We Know Streaming Before Bed Is Bad—But We Do It Anyway
Even though everyone says to ditch your phone before sleep, over half (56%) of New Yorkers still stream shows before bed. Maybe it’s because you're rewatching Frasier for the eighth time, but it's not doing our sleep any favors.

Hot Rooms, Bad Dreams, and the Snoring Partner
Other nighttime interruptions? Too Hot (15%), Bad dreams (16%), and your partner’s snoring or wandering limbs (9%). 11% of us worry about oversleeping and missing our alarms—so we are stressed even while we're sleeping.

We’re Tired, Wired, and Can’t Stop Watching Netflix
Almost literally, New York City is the city that never sleeps— in fact, it’s the city that can’t sleep. Between late-night streaming, late night wakeups, and bathroom runs, restful sleep is kind of a myth. Time to rethink that bedtime routine, New York. Or at least stop drinking water after 9 PM.

Here are the top New York cities that are likely to sleepwalk, you won't believe what city came in #1.
