Good sleep lets us wake up refreshed and full of energy.
A new survey shows in which cities people sleep particularly well.
Healthy sleep strengthens our immune system, promotes concentration and is also important for maintaining healthy eyesight.
A new study by the optical online retailer Lenstore examined the cities in the world where you can sleep best.
Factors such as the consumption of sleeping pills, humidity, average temperature, depression rate, light pollution and air quality were included in the survey.
Which cities worldwide offer the best opportunities for recreation?
According to the Lenstore analysis, the following are
five places:
Canberra, Australia:
The Australian capital does best of all cities because it has the lowest nighttime light and noise pollution with a value of 80.82 out of 100.
Vienna, Austria:
Vienna is in the top 10 cities due to its low noise levels and is a great place to relax, even if the number of searches for sleeping pills is in the top half of the ranking.
Luxembourg City, Luxembourg:
Only 7.6 percent of the population in Luxembourg work more than 48 hours a week, and the city also has the sixth best air quality of all cities surveyed.
Jerusalem, Israel:
Jerusalem has the lowest humidity and an ideal climate for sleeping, which comes closest to the optimal temperature of 18.3 degrees with 19.2 degrees Celsius.
Tokyo, Japan:
Japan has the lowest number of people needing medication in an international comparison and has one of the lowest search volumes for sleeping pills with 18 searches per 100,000 inhabitants.
