ARE MINNESOTANS LOSING SLEEP OVER WORK?

What happened?! How many days this week did you sleep through your alarm? What?! You went to be extra early so this wouldn't happen..but it still did?

Are Minnesotans just staying up too late for the fun of it? Trying to live as much as they can outside of their working hours?

A new study says NO...that's not what's happening.

WHY AMERICANS ARE 'CHRONICALLY UNDERSLEPT

The new study shows that 44% of working Americans are 'chronically underslept' because of their job.  What's happening? Is it an irresponsible person that's causing the statistics?

The reasons we are "chronically underslept"?

We worry too much. We worry about a co worker. We worry about getting fired. We worry about getting fired because of job performance, and we have nightmares about our bosses!

THE STATISTICS

How do Minnesotans rank in this undersleep study? Actually we are considered one of the top five most rested states. Apparently we don't worry about not working our butts off because pretty much if you were born in Minnesota...your reputation across the country is that good. People from Minnesota are known for working themselves literally to death.

The states that didn't' do so well? Miami, New York, San Francisco, Nashville and Chicago.  The resting cities besides Minneapolis included Cleveland, D.C. San Diego and Pittsburgh.
