Utah’s 50
Best
Cities for Sleep
The beautiful state of Utah is also known as The Beehive State after a term meaning “honeybee” in the Book of Mormon. Utah is home to the largest settlement of Mormons in the US, and is one of the least densely populated of all the 50 states. Utah boasts some of the most spectacular and unique national parks in the world, including Arches, Zion, and Canyonlands. Utah also hosts a wealth of wildlife, including elk, bison, mountain goats, and bighorn sheep.
Fascinating facts about Utah:
- The quaking aspen is the Utah state tree and the gila monster is the state reptile
- Each year, the mountains near Salt Lake City get an average of 500 inches of snow
- Utah has 6 national forests and 7 national monuments
- The outlaw Butch Cassidy was born in Beaver, Utah
- The Great Salt Lake near Salt Lake City covers more than a million acres of land and is larger than the states of Delaware and Rhode island
So how does the population of this scenic state sleep? Does its clear desert air help or hinder slumber? How does Utah’s outdoor lifestyle affect the rates of sleep disorders? Join us as we find out how cities in The Beehive State stack up.
