Three counties in New York City – Richmond, the Bronx, and Kings – rank as the most sleep-deprived in the region Meanwhile, the neighborhood that gets the least sleep in the city is Harlem
“Sleep is so fundamental, it really impacts multi-different systems” of the body, says Dr. Natasha Williams, a sleep expert at NYU Langone. ”We have seen a pattern as it relates to hypertension. … Mood, anxiety. There’s a strong relation with sleep disturbance and depression, as well.”
In the city, Williams is not surprised by the areas that report the least amount of sleep in each borough: Harlem, Morrisania, Brownsville, Jamaica and Mid Island. Sleep, she says, needs to be a public health priority.
