"Sleep in the City" Study Examines Relationship Between Sleep and Happiness
A new study unveils the best and worst cities in America for getting a restful night's sleep. Minneapolis was ranked as the best place for restful sleep, Detroit was identified as the least likely city to wake up refreshed. New York City is notorious for being "the city that never sleeps,", and perhaps this is why it ranked 6th among the worst cities for sleep.
The "Sleep in the City" study was conducted by national research expert Bert Sperling, well known for his national "Best Places" studies, in partnership with Ambien, a prescription sleep aid. The study was based on analysis of recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data, along with data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the U.S. Census Bureau

I should think it would depend on the neighbourhood. If you had an apartment above a crack den or by a main road in Minneapolis you'd have a harder time sleeping than if you slept in a peaceful area of Detroit. I suppose they take into account how many areas in a city you'd get sleep, and maybe Detroit has very few of those areas.

im black and not racistl by any terms but in nyc, during the warm days us black and Latinos love to party and our neighborhoods usually are no sleep zone for transplants because of the high volumes of noise.
west indians with the kompa, reggae, and soca on a summer night will have your apartment/house doing the dutty wine.
Minneapolis #1? I wake up every night because of the police/ambulance helicopters/fire people flying past my apartment I must be in the wrong part of town.
