The Most Sleep-Deprived U.S. Cities, Mapped

Has your alarm clock gone off when you just wanted one more hour of sleep? You’re not alone, and in some cases, it may be something your entire city feels.

One study found that almost 15% of Americans have trouble falling asleep while 18% struggle with staying asleep. Sleep quality can also be an issue for Americans who may have mitigating factors contributing to their restlessness on any given night.

But which cities will have you tossing and turning the most? Innerbody studied major cities based in several sleep factors and found that some places may be more sleep-deprived than others.

Most and Least Sleep-Deprived Cities | Innerbody

Losing Sleep

See the top 10 of most sleep-deprived U.S. cities:

1. Norfolk, Virginia
2. New Orleans, Louisiana
3. Detroit, Michigan
4. Toledo, Ohio
5. Cincinnati, Ohio
6. Indianapolis, Indiana
7. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
8. Laredo, Texas
9. Cleveland, Ohio
10. Memphis, Tennessee

Insufficient sleep may be more prevalent in the Eastern U.S. than in cities in the West when factoring in issues like exercise, obesity, alcohol consumption, mental health, noise and light pollution, and general sleep issues.

In fact, nine of the top 10 most sleep-deprived cities are in the eastern part of the country with Norfolk, Virginia leading the way. In second place is New Orleans, Louisiana, followed by Detroit, Michigan. Ohio sticks out as the most sleep-deprived state with three of its major cities—Toledo, Cincinnati, and Cleveland—making the top 10. The Lone Star State has the lone city outside of the east with sleep-deprived residents with Laredo, Texas, making the list.

Some factors contributed more than others to get certain cities on the list for most sleep-deprived cities. Norfolk, for example, ranked in the top five for cities with noise and light pollution and cities with mental distress. Toledo and New Orleans also landed in the top five highest cities with mental stress. A lack of physical activity and higher obesity rates pushed cities like Laredo, Toledo, and Memphis into the top 10 for most sleep-deprived.

How to Get Better Sleep

Whether you’re living in a sleep-deprived city or a well-slept city, there are things you can do to get a more restful and healthy sleep.

Regular exercise can help you sleep better by reducing stress and improving your mood among other benefits. Even something as simple as going for a walk a few times a week could help you get a good night’s sleep.

Screen time before bed can also affect both adults and children with experts recommending that you avoid using screens such as smartphones, tablets, and computers at least an hour before bedtime.

It’s also a good idea to limit alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, or a heavy meal right before bed. All of these things can make it harder for you to go to sleep or stay asleep once you close your eyes.

Try out some changes to see if any of them work for you if you’re having trouble sleeping. You may be surprised at what can help you sleep even if you do live in a sleep-deprived city.

CSK vs KKR, IPL 2026: Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders clash looking to jump up from last place <div id="content-body-70857974" itemprop="articleBody"><p>The 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) has reached the 21-match mark, with each team having played four games. The tournament’s traditional heavyweights find themselves in uncharted territory.</p><p>The points table tells a bizarre story of shifting power: the teams currently in the top half share only three titles between them, while the bottom half contains a staggering 14 trophies’ worth of experience.</p><p>On Tuesday, the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium hosts a make-or-break fixture between two of these struggling giants. The home side, Chennai Super Kings (CSK), sits at a precarious ninth place, while the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) languish at the bottom with a solitary point from four outings.</p><h4 class="sub_head">PowerPlay woes</h4><p>CSK finally halted a gruelling six-match home losing streak with a 23-run win over Delhi Capitals last time out. The victory was fuelled by Sanju Samson’s maiden century in yellow—a long-awaited return on investment for the high-profile trade from Rajasthan Royals—and a sharp bowling performance led by Jamie Overton.</p><p>However, captain Ruturaj Gaikwad’s form is a glaring liability. With just 56 runs at an average of 14.00 and a strike rate of 103, his ultra-cautious PowerPlay approach has stifled the team’s momentum.</p><p><b>ALSO READ | <a href="https://sportstar.thehindu.com/cricket/ipl/gujarat-titans-vs-chennai-super-kings-ipl-2026-fixture-swap-venue-election-gt-csk-chennai-ahmedabad-dates/article70857711.ece" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Gujarat Titans vs Chennai Super Kings fixtures swapped owing to municipal elections</a></b></p><p>Promoting the fearless Ayush Mhatre to open while shifting Gaikwad to the number three spot could provide the spark currently lacking in the first six overs.</p><p>Furthermore, while Dewald Brevis only contributed a couple of catches in his return, his presence in the middle order offers a higher ceiling for a unit desperate for high-impact players in the absence of MS Dhoni.</p><p>On the bowling front, the inclusion of West Indian Akeal Hosein has paid dividends. He replaced a struggling Matt Henry and has provided a quick fix for CSK’s PowerPlay bowling. With support from Overton and Anshul Kamboj, the bowling unit seems to have finally taken shape.</p><h4 class="sub_head">Searching for solutions</h4><p>KKR’s problems are equally systemic. While Finn Allen provides a fear factor with a strike rate north of 200, his frequent early exits have forced Ajinkya Rahane and Angkrish Raghuvanshi to rebuild rather than accelerate.</p><p>The middle-order finishers have also gone cold: Rinku Singh has managed just 72 runs this season, while Rovman Powell has contributed only 39.</p><div class=" article-picture center"><img src="https://ss-i.thgim.com/public/incoming/w5xlv0/article70858106.ece/alternates/FREE_1200/12_Index_RVM_7164.jpg" data-original="https://ss-i.thgim.com/public/incoming/w5xlv0/article70858106.ece/alternates/FREE_1200/12_Index_RVM_7164.jpg" alt="The KKR spin-bowling attack has picked only five wickets in 24.1 overs bowled, at an economy rate of 9.26." title="The KKR spin-bowling attack has picked only five wickets in 24.1 overs bowled, at an economy rate of 9.26." class=" lazy" width="100%" height="100%"/><div class="pic-caption"><figcaption class="figure-caption align-text-bottom"><p> The KKR spin-bowling attack has picked only five wickets in 24.1 overs bowled, at an economy rate of 9.26. | Photo Credit: RV MOORTHY </p><img class="caption-image" src="https://assetsss.thehindu.com/theme/images/SSRX/lightbox-info.svg" alt="lightbox-info"/></figcaption></div><p class="caption"> The KKR spin-bowling attack has picked only five wickets in 24.1 overs bowled, at an economy rate of 9.26. | Photo Credit: RV MOORTHY </p></div><p>The imbalance is deepened by Cameron Green’s lack of rhythm with the bat.
