Sleepless in Seattle? Hardly. West Virginia is where people are
really staying awake, according to the first government study to monitor
state-by-state differences in sleeplessness. West Virginians’ lack of sleep was
about double the national rate, perhaps a side effect of health problems such
as obesity(肥胖), experts
said.
Nearly 1 in 5 West Virginians said they did not get a single good night’s sleep in the previous month. The national average was about 1 in 10, according to a federal health survey. Tennessee, Kentucky and Oklahoma also were notably above average with nearly 1 in 7 people reporting in a lack of sleep. In contrast, North Dakota was below average, with only 1 in 13 reporting that degree of sleeplessness. Health officials do not know the exact reasons for the differences.
In the survey, people weren’t required to answer the question why
they were not able to get enough rest or sleep. But experts noted several
possible explanations: West Virginia ranks at or near the bottom of the nation
in several important measurements of health, including obesity, smoking, heart
disease and the proportion of adults with disabilities.
Studies have increasingly found that sleeping problems often
occurred among people with certain health problems, including obesity. “You
would expect to see poorer sleep within a chronically (慢性地) diseased population,” noted Dr Ronald
Chervin, a sleep disorders expert in University of Michigan.
Financial stress and work shifts(倒班)can play roles in sleeplessness, too, Chervin added. He suggested
those may be contributing factors in West Virginia, an economically depressed
state with tens of thousands of people working in coal mining.
The report was based on results of an annual telephone survey of
more than 400,000 Americans, including at least 3,900 in each state. The survey did not include people who use only cellphones.
