Which Town In NJ Gets The Least Amount Of Sleep?

We all know sleep is important and I'll be the first to admit that I don't get enough. It might be because of my own personal time management issues, but that's a whole other story. When I should have been sleeping, I was scrolling through Instagram and saw a couple posts from Thrive Global that caught my eye. The first was a post about the cities where people get the least amount of sleep and Newark, NJ made the list. I was thinking I could add my own town to the list because I should have been sleeping but wasn't. I think that night I probably got less than six hours of sleep per usual. I should have put my phone away, but I was awake looking at social media posts about sleep and what happens when you don't get enough sleep.

How many hours of sleep did you get last night? Tell us in the comments. To determine where Americans cope with stress best, Wallethub compared more than 180 cities across different metrics, ranging from weekly work hours to job security to suicide rates. Ultimately, they found that Detroit, MI was the most stressed city and that Fremont, CA was the least stressed.

Of course that post didn't motivate me to turn off my phone and go to sleep. I kept scrolling and came across another post from Thrive Global. The new post I came across let me know that sleeping only five hours a night has the same effect on the brain as being drunk! Uh oh! I definitely need to change my sleeping habits. Now I know why I feel awful and groggy in the morning ...it's because I'm sleep wasted.

How many of you are reading this and thinking, ooooh, that’s why I feel so loopy at work all the time?! Tonight, make sure you get enough sleep 💤 so that your Monday feels smooth (and sober). 😂 Tag someone who you know needs more sleep...
