Delaware is the third most-relaxed state, based on how often residents Google for various terms related to sleep – or its lack.

Hush., a bedding and mattress brand in Canada, used Google Trends to discover the level of interest in nine search terms: sleep anxiety, how to sleep better, insomnia, why can’t I sleep, sleep remedies, sounds for sleep, weighted blanket, white noise machine and sleep apnea.

Wyoming was the most relaxed, with a score of 23 (out of 100), and Oklahoma was dead last (but probably not dead asleep) with a score of 71.

Delaware scored 35.

“Being relaxed plays a major part in helping you to fall asleep,” the company said in releasing the results.

“There are plenty of things that can prevent people from feeling relaxed at night, for example poor sleep hygiene, work-related stress, and even medical conditions. So, many people who struggle to feel relaxed will be searching for things to help them wind down and hopefully improve their sleeping pattern.

“However, what’s interesting to see here is that many of these top 10 areas offer incredible natural scenery including Wyoming’s stunning mountains and Maine’s tranquil lakes. Perhaps the peaceful landscapes are one of the factors that can contribute to winding down and achieving a good night’s sleep.”

Hush. provided no examples for Delaware’s incredible natural scenery.
