"For the findings, researchers created an index that analyzed noise pollution, light pollution and anxiety levels in 97 of the most populated cities across the US. Investigators sourced the noise population data from the U.S. Department of Transportation, light pollution data from the Earth Observation Group, and anxiety severity data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The analysts then calculated figures from the reports and assigned each city a sleep index score out of 100."
""Newark's low score is, in part, due to the worst average noise pollution levels and fourth worst light pollution levels in the study," David Charles, co-founder of Mood, a federally legal cannabis retailer that commissioned the study, said in a statement. Newark, owing to its bright lights and departing flights, earned an eye-popping 16. It's a local locale that's been bested by the rest."
