The Big Peach was the pits in a ranking based on survey data and on factors that deprived people of sleep like commute times, divorce and unemployment rates.
Atlanta residents reported an average of 9.7 days of poor sleep each month, more than the 8.4 average reported for the 50 metropolitan areas studied. The commute time was about 34 minutes in Atlanta, above the 30 minute average. Divorce and unemployment rates were slightly above average as well.
Nashville, Houston, New York and St. Louis followed Atlanta at the top of the list of worst places to snooze.
The best cities for sleep were in California — Anaheim and Los Angeles were No. 1 and No. 2. Raleigh-Durham, N.C., Minneapolis and Chicago rounded out the best list.
