We asked survey participants about how neighborhood sound impacts their sleep and relaxation. In particular, we asked whether or not they had trouble falling asleep, trouble staying asleep, trouble relaxing, and trouble concentrating. We also asked them about the quality of their sleep. The majority of participants did feel as if neighborhood sound impacted their sleep and relaxation—in particular trouble falling asleep and trouble relaxing.
Further, once participants were able to sleep—despite the disturbances from sound—the majority ranked their quality of sleep from fair to bad.
We created visual and interactive maps of the variation in hours of sleep across Greater Boston. You can view (or download) the maps, HERE.
