It appears that we in Ohio haven’t been catching enough Zzz’s. 

According to a study from RetailMeNot, Ohio is the fifth most sleep-deprived state in the country. A total of 40.4% of adults report that they typically sleep less than seven hours per night, compared to 36.2% of all American adults.

To carry out the study, RetailMeNot looked at CDC data to see which states had the most adults who reported sleeping seven hours or less each night. Researchers also looked at other related indicators, including poor physical and mental health and local poverty rates. 

According to the study, 12.8% of Ohioans reported poor physical health, compared to 11.8% nationwide. A total of 15.4% Ohio residents reported poor mental health, compared to 12.9% nationwide. Ohio’s poverty rate is 13.1%, compared to 12.3% nationwide.
