The country suffers from the highest levels of noise pollution at 55.60 and stress among the top 10, severely affecting sleep quality. The average sleep duration in the Philippines is 6.13 hours per night, and the high number of sleep-related Google searches shows that people are still struggling with sleep problems,” Onebed’s survey said.

Among the factors they considered were average hours of sleep per night, air quality index, noise pollution levels, stress levels, and frequency of Google searches for “sleep deprivation” and “insomnia remedies.”
