The Philippines reached 3rd place with a composite score of 0.87.

The average Filipino sleeps 6.13 hours nightly, with their slumber-related Google searches proving their inadequate sleep habits. 

More importantly, it has the highest levels of noise pollution at 55.6, and its stress levels are among the top 10.

Australia ranks first with the worst sleep habits. People from The Land Down Under had a composite score of 0.987.

Aussies only have an average of 6.24 hours of sleep nightly and look for sleep problem fixes online.

Moreover, their average Google search volume for “sleep deprivation” was 66,450 searches, and “insomnia remedies” was 47,770 searches.

The US takes second place with a composite score of 0.951.

Onebed says the Land of the Free faces significant sleep challenges.

For example, it has the lowest average sleep duration among the top 10 at only 5.7 hours nightly.

The United States also has some of the highest noise pollution levels at 46.56 and stress at 7.29.

Moreover, poor sleep habits lead many Americans to search “sleep deprivation” and “insomnia remedies” frequently.

Fourth to tenth place goes to the following countries: 

• United Kingdom
• Mexico
• Singapore
• India
• South Korea
• Israel

Dylan Tollemache, the Co-Founder & CEO at Onebed commented on the study: 

“It’s clear that sleep quality is becoming a bigger concern, and it’s something we need to start paying more attention to.”
