PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — One of the key components of good health is getting quality sleep. There are many factors that can have an impact on your sleep, but new research based on an analysis of Google search data found where you live might have an impact.

Certain states have residents who are more sleep-deprived than others. The theory is that the greater the number of searches about sleep, the greater the potential problems in the community.


New Jersey ranked the 10th most sleep-deprived state. Delaware was 19th, and Pennsylvania was 22nd.

California was the most sleep-deprived state, and Montana was the least.
