Residents of Snowier States Sleeping Away the Winter?

Jacob Wackerhausen/iStock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — This blasted winter will come to an end eventually, but until then, Americans will just have to make the best of things, particularly in the nation’s snow belts.

Actually, some folks may have gotten something out of this unseasonable season and that’s more sleep.

According to smartphone app Sleep Cycle, people in Southeastern states slept an average of seven hours and seven minutes — or 13 minutes fewer than residents of Northwestern states, which typically get pounded with more snow.

The data was collected during the month of January with data from 140,000 people across the U.S. and even Hawaii, where people got the least amount of sleep per average, around seven hours.

Still, if you’re looking for the benefit of living in a state where you may get less snow, according to Sleep Cycle’s blog post, users in the southern states woke up in a better mood, on average.
