Americans living in big cities and along the coasts are missing out on more sleep than the rest of the country, new data reveals. 

Meanwhile, less populated states filled with wide open spaces got more shut-eye, according to an analysis of Google searches for sleep remedies and insomnia. 

Noise, commuting, and caffeine could all be responsible for these residents being more sleep deprived than more rural populations.  

The data, seen in DailyMail.com’s interactive map, sheds a light on which populations are more likely to be part of the one third of Americans who aren’t getting enough sleep every night and are more vulnerable to a host of chronic health issues. 

Mattress sales company Amerisleep analyzed data from the last 12 months for 96 search terms on Google related to sleep such as ‘insomnia’, ‘sleep deprivation’ and ‘how to sleep faster’. 

The company then compiled the data to calculate a rate by multiplying the search volumes by 100,000 and dividing that figure by the state’s population. 

The findings suggest that California was the most sleep-deprived state in the nation, with the highest number of sleep-related searches and a rate of 805 searches per 100,000 residents. 

The second worst state for sleep was Maryland, with a rate of 770 sleep searches per 100,000 residents, followed by New York state, at 765 sleep-related searches.

Rounding out the top five were Massachusetts (754) and Nevada (753).

However, Montana was the least sleep deprived state in the country, with just 480 searchers per 100,000 residences.  

It was followed by South Dakota (487), Idaho (515), Wyoming (516) and Iowa (518).

Overall, the average national search rate for sleep-related issues was 699 per 100,000 residents.

Research shows that people who live in urban areas may find it harder to sleep because of the increased noise and pollution. 

Dr Lisa Wolfe, a sleep specialist at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, told the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM): ‘As a “big-city doctor”, there is some insomnia that I see that is city-related.’ 

Studies have found that noise is one of the biggest sleep disrupters in cities, as people may live too close to a highway, busy street or major airport. 

People living in larger cities are also more likely to work corporate office jobs that start early in the morning or require working late, meaning less time for rest. 

Also, in these areas, which often have a coffee shop on every corner, residents may be more likely to drink caffeine, which has been shown to ruin sleep quality if consumed too late in the day. 

Commuting, whether on public transit or in busy traffic, also leaves less time for sleep, Dr Wolfe said. 

Montana, on the other hand, is a more rural state filled with wide open spaces. The entire state has just one million residents, one-eighth of the amount in New York City alone. This means less noise to disturb sleep quality. 

It also places a greater emphasis on agricultural work than corporate careers, making a lack of sleep from commuting less likely than in big cities. 

The findings come at a time when one in three US adults aren’t getting enough sleep, according to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 

The agency recommends all adults aim to get seven to nine hours of sleep every night.

Youngsters need significantly more time in bed, however, with teenagers requiring eight to ten hours of sleep and children aged six to 12 years needing nine to 12 hours.

A lack of sleep has consistently been linked to chronic health problems such as sleep apnea, heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, obesity, and depression. 

It can also lead to insomnia, where someone routinely has trouble falling asleep.

A spokesperson for Amerisleep said about the data: ‘A good night’s sleep is vital for our bodies to repair and maintain themselves.

‘Sleep disorders have become more common in modern times due to lifestyle changes such as work schedules, technology and overall health.’ 

President Joe Biden has promised every American will have access to fast internet by 2030 by allocating $42.5 billion in funding to states.

Biden held a briefing Monday to discuss the Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment program, or BEAD, which was approved in 2021 by Congress through the infrastructure bill.

The amount each state receives will depend on the number of unserved locations and jurisdictions lacking internet speeds above 100 Mbps.

Texas, which ranks among the top 10 with the fastest, is set to receive the most funding of $3.1 billion and California, which places 50th, is getting the second highest – $1.9 billion.

Figures compiled by Wise Voter show that Maryland, Virginia and DC have the fastest speeds nationwide, while the slowest speeds are in Montana, South Dakota and California.

Internet speeds are based on several explanations, such as those with higher income are more likely to purchase higher-speed service packages, and providers offer higher bandwidth services in more affluent cities than in poorer areas.

‘High-speed Internet is no longer a luxury… Yet, more than 8.5 million households and small businesses are in areas where there is no high-speed Internet infrastructure, and millions more struggle with limited or unreliable Internet options,’ Biden said Monday.

Allocated funds range from $27 million to over $3.3 billion, with each state receiving a minimum of $107 million. 

Approximately 19 states are set to receive over $1 billion, with the top 10 allocations in Alabama, California, Georgia, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington. 

The US US Virgin Islands is set to receive the least amount, $27.1 million, along with Maryland, which will get $267.7 million.

White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients said: ‘We have a historic opportunity here to make a real difference in people’s lives and making sure that we deliver on that potential is what we’re about every day and to make sure that people feel that at their kitchen table, in their communities, in their backyards.’

Zients compared the broadband effort to President Franklin Roosevelt’s efforts in 1936 to bring electricity to rural America. 

Broadband companies such as Verizon, Comcast, Charter Communications and AT&T have been reluctant to provide access to low-population, rural communities because the investments are expensive and the regions do not offer a lot of subscribers. 

The lack of broadband access drew attention during COVID shutdowns that forced students into online schooling.

States are expected to submit initial plans later this year to unlock 20 percent of the funding. 

The remaining money will be released once the plans are finalized, which could take until 2025. 

Under the program’s rules, states must prioritize connecting predominantly unserved areas before bolstering service in underserved areas or those without internet speeds of 100 Mbps/20 Mbps and community anchor institutions, such as schools and libraries. 

Wise Voter provided data about each US state’s average download speed, which is calculated by taking ever town and city’s speeds. 

Maryland ranks as the top state with the fastest internet, which is partially due to Verizon deploying high-speed, fiber optic broadband internet service across the state in April.

This initiative provided nearly 4,000 new households and businesses in Charles, Garrett, Cecil, Howard, St. Mary’s and Washington County access to the Fios network.

This rural broadband project is built in partnership with the state of Maryland and the FCC to deliver fast, fiber broadband service (with symmetrical download and upload speeds between 300Mbps to 2Gbps) to residents in rural parts of the state. 

The entire state of Maryland averages 506.70 Mbps.

Virginia is second with 505.60 Mbps, Washington D.C. has 473.80 Mbps and Delaware ranks third in the US with 469.70 Mbps.

Washington state averages 451 Mbps, Rhode Island has 433.30 Mbps and Pennsylvania has the seventh fastest, with 430.80 Mbps.

New Jersey ranks eighth with 427.80 Mbps, followed by Texas with 425.90 Mbps and Georgia with 414.90 Mbps.

Wise Voter has ranked California with the slowest average internet speed in the US, with just 93 Mbps.

Reports show that 301 school districts within the state have slow internet speeds – there are about 940 total.

The University of California found that 25 percent of the 39 million people in the state do not have internet, and 10 percent rely on a mobile phone connection.

However, San Francisco has an average download speed of 232.5 Mbps and San Jose, where Silicon Valley is located, has 180.5 Mbps.

Montana is 50th with 100.5 Mbps, South Dakota with 191.7 Mbps and Iowa with 193.9 Mbps.

Alaska had long held last place in the US but improved its speeds dramatically over the past two years, possibly due to Elon Musk’s Starlink going live in 2022. 

BREAKING NEWS: United States midfielder Catarina Macario is OUT for the 2023 Women’s World Cup as she continues to recover from tearing her ACL in June of 2022

America’s biggest fruitphobe states have been revealed in a DailyMail.com interactive map.

Based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data, the map shows how nearly half of adults in eight states do not consume a single piece of fruit per day.

The states are concentrated in the South, which has traditionally scored poorly for fast food consumption, obesity and other diet metrics.

Overall, across the country, three in five Americans consume more than one piece of fruit a day. The CDC says every adult should consume 1.5 to two cups of fruits and two to three cups of vegetables per day to get enough nutrients and avoid any deficiencies, or five a day.

The data was pulled from the 2021 CDC Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, which surveyed 440,000 Americans across the US.

For the survey, participants were asked: ‘Now think about the foods you are or drank during the past month, that is, the past 30 days, including meals and snacks.

‘Not including juices, how often did you eat fruit?’

For vegetables, they were asked: ‘How often did you eat a green leafy or lettuce salad, with or without other vegetables?’

Oklahoma had the highest proportion of people who didn’t eat at least one piece of fruit per day at 48.7 percent of respondents.

Rounding out the top five were Louisiana (48.6 percent), followed by Mississippi (46.8 percent), Tennessee (46.1), and West Virginia (46).

These states were also among the most impoverished in the nation, all in the top ten for those with the highest poverty rates according to the 2020 US census.

Low-income families are more likely to purchase ultra-processed foods and less likely to buy fruits and vegetables than those from wealthier households.

This is linked to ultra-processed foods being cheaper, as well as convenience and processed foods being more palatable because they contain more fats and sugars, according to a 2018 study from Johns Hopkins University.

In Oklahoma, about one in six individuals are food insecure — unable to access sufficient food to meet their needs — according to the Oklahoma Policy Institute.

One in four employees in the state also earns less than the national poverty level — below $13,590 per year for individuals.

The situation is no better in Louisiana, where nearly a fifth of children live in a house that is food insecure, data from 2019 to 2021 collected by the Annie E. Casey Foundation shows.

Some 19 percent of households in the state also live below the national poverty line, while the proportion in deep poverty — earning less than half the $27,750 needed for a family of four — was 8.7 percent.

In terms of vegetable consumption, Louisiana had the most people eating too few vegetables, with 25.6 percent having less than one a day.

It was followed by Texas (24.1 percent), Nevada (24), Mississippi (23.2) and Iowa (23).

The lack of consumption of sufficient fruits and vegetables is putting people in these states at higher risk of obesity because they are eating more processed foods.

Of the top ten states for the most people avoiding fruits, seven of them — Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, West Virginia, Arkansas and Kentucky — were also in the top ten obesity rates in the US.

Oklahoma also had the highest death rate from heart disease in the US — at 264.2 fatalities per 100,000 people — while Louisiana — at 235.5 per 100,000 — has the fourth highest.

Health officials say it is essential to get the ‘full rainbow’ of fruit and vegetables every day to ensure consumption of the full range of nutrients their body needs.

Previous research has shown how adequate consumption is linked to a lower risk for heart disease, diabetes, some cancers and obesity.

Spotted lanternflies have been spotted in 16 US states, meaning sidewalks and trees will soon be crawling with hundreds of millions of these Asian insects.

The multi-colored bug, with spots on its back, is known to feast on more than 70 types of plants and leave resin covered in toxic black mold that slowly weakens vegetation. 

Residents are urged to stomp on adult lanternflies and scrape egg masses from trees and other outdoor surfaces to ease the imminent infestation.

The 2022 infestation was dubbed ‘worse than Egypt‘s locust’ and while the season has just started, experts fear the spotted lanternflies are returning with a vengeance.

Pennsylvania was the first to detect a spotted lanternfly in 2014. 

The one-inch insect has since cost the state $50.1 million annually – but a 2022 study suggests losses could soon reach $324 million.

Two-thirds of Pennsylvania’s counties are in a quarantine zone, meaning many transportation-based businesses must get a special permit.

This is because the insects can sneak into materials transported across states.

Although they seem harmless, the invasive insects from Asia are costing Americans hundreds of millions of dollars a year in economic damages and treatments to eradicate the pests. 

The states with sightings include Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island, Virginia, New Hampshire, Vermont and West Virginia. 

The spotted lanternfly is believed to have come to the US as egg masses on a stone shipment that originated in China.

Both nymphs and adults of spotted lanternflies cause damage when they feed, sucking sap from stems and branches. 

This can reduce photosynthesis, weaken the plant, and eventually contribute to the plant’s death.

In addition, feeding can cause the plant to ooze or weep, resulting in a fermented odor, and the insects themselves excrete large amounts of fluid called honeydew.

It’s not the trees that are at greatest risk, though. 

‘If allowed to spread in the United States, this pest could seriously impact the country’s grape, orchard and logging industries,’ according to the USDA.

Almonds, apples, blueberries, cherries, peaches, grapes and hops are some of the threatened crops. 

These fluids promote mold growth and attract other insects.

State officials are sending residents on a mission to kill, urging people to crush or stomp on the bugs, put them in a container of alcohol, diluted Clorox or hand sanitizer and spray them with a mixture of rubbing alcohol and water.

Infestations are identifiable by thick clusters of insects on tree trunks and branches. 

The public is also encouraged to inspect outdoor furniture, trailers and vehicles for these invasive bugs. 

People were creative with fighting last year’s infestation.

A woman in Staten Island used a vacuum cleaner to suck at least 80 pests off her grape vine. 

But a few hours later, the vine was infested again.

Another woman in New Jersey fed insects to a giant spider that had made its home on her porch.
