How Sleep-Deprived Are Colorado Residents?

While many Coloradans may feel that they don't get enough sleep on a regular basis, when you look at the latest data regarding sleep deprivation per state on a National level, residents of the Centennial State are actually pretty well rested comparatively.

How Sleep-Deprived is Colorado?

While one of the most well-known distinctions for Colorado residents is how they have been named the skinniest in the nation, thanks to a shared love of outdoor activities and healthy food, new studies show that they are also pretty well-rested.

The new research shows that the most well-rested state in the nation is Vermont, with only 30% of residents reporting insufficient sleep.

In contrast, the most sleep-deprived state in the country is Hawaii, with a whopping 49.5% of residents reporting insufficient sleep.

If we travel outside of Colorado's borders, we find states that, while more sleep-deprived than the Centennial State, the difference is far from staggering. For example, in Nebraska, 31.5% of residents reported insufficient sleep, while Wyoming and New Mexico reported figures of 33.4% and 34.1%, respectively.

The figures increase slightly with the other states that border Colorado, with Utah, Oklahoma, and Kansas reporting figures of 34.3%, 36.2%, and 36.7% of residents who claim to get insufficient sleep.

Based on the fact that Colorado is the healthiest state in the nation, its distinction as the second-most well-rested shouldn't come as too much of a surprise, though many factors must be considered as to why residents do and do not get sufficient sleep.
