As a long time insomniac I was very surprised to find out that my home city is ranked in the top 10 cities of those who suffer from insomnia or sleep disorders and use pain relievers to combat it. This data was crunched by The Daily Beast and compiled initially by Experian Simmons. I saw the report in Newsweek.
1. Charleston, W. Virginia
2. Mt. Vernon, Illinois
3. Dayton, Ohio
4. Springfield, Missouri
5. Lexington, Kentucky
6. Tri-Cities, Tennessee-Virginia
7. Evansville, Indiana
8. Roanoke, Virginia
9. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
10. Davenport, Iowa
Is it just me or does it look like Podunk America has the most insomniacs? We must not be able to sleep due to sheer boredom because it certainly is not our thrilling nightlife. Then again, perhaps all the late night party-goers in big cities do not consider it a problem to be up all night?
Kentucky, home of beautiful women and fast horses. Maybe it should be Kentucky, proudly popping pain pills.
