Sleepless in Vancouver: study finds we are getting the worst sleep in Canada

Vancouver has taken a lot of titles in recent years, from most beautiful to least affordable, but now a new study is crowning the city as the most sleep-stressed in Canada.

Mornings, a United Kingdom guide to mattresses, released a new report that used data from Twitter gathered in June 2021 to see which cities were reporting the most stressful sleep.

They used a research tool called TensiStrength to help them pull tweets that used sleep-related terms, geotagged them, and then rated them on a stress scale to find the results.

But Vancouver didn’t crack the top 10 worst cities in the world for sleep. On that list, Rochester, New York, took the number one spot.
