Arvada Getting More Sleep Amid Stay-At-Home Order, Study Shows

ARVADA, CO — People's overall health and boosted immune systems are critical for combating the new coronavirus, and sleep is a large part of that, health officials say. While the outbreak has been devastating for Colorado, there's one silver lining — residents across the state are getting more sleep amid the stay-at-home order, according to a study by Sleepopolis.

With reduced commuting and mobility, Arvada residents are getting an average of 17 hours more sleep per month, according to the report.

Researchers compiled a list of the best and worst cities for sleep in Colorado, using a variety of factors, which were combined to create an overall sleep score out of 100 for each town on the list. The factors include the smoking rate, insufficient sleep rate, mentally unhealthy days, physical inactivity, air pollution levels and unemployment rate.

With a sleep score of 84.7 and a rank of No. 71, Arvada residents are getting far less quality sleep than those in other towns and cities in Colorado, so those extra 17 hours are needed, according to the report.

The study found that Cherry Hills Village, with an overall sleep score of 94.66, is the best city for a good night’s rest. Pueblo residents are the mostly likely to benefit from working from home and getting extra Z’s — the town came in last place on the list with a sleep score of just 82.13.
