Reply to comment by AngelaLambert in Staten Island (or Richmond County) is the most sleep-deprived place in New York State, with 44% of adults reporting inadequate sleep. It also ranks 15th out the most sleep-deprived counties in the U.S. by AngelaLambert

I’d imagine probably insane commutes combined with having family duties and children.

I find the emergency services explanation more compelling. Long commutes and family obligations are present in most parts of the NY metro area, but Staten Island is the only part of the metro area that is present in this list.

Where else in the city is the commute up to a hour and a half on a good day. Like it’s better to just move to PA at that pount

First, it’s way worse coming from NJ or PA to NYC now that more people moved out of the city during the pandemic so the commutes are no longer comparable. Also, I’ve had both long driving commutes and long mass transit commutes - no contest, driving is the absolute worst. It just feels so much longer because at least on the bus I can pass the time doing anything but driving.

There’s spots in NJ (where hundreds of thousands of people live) that are less than 20 minutes by train from the central business district of Manhattan. How do you figure that’s worse than the people in the far reaches of the outerboroughs that have 1-2 hour one way commutes?

The person I responded to literally mentioned PA. My statement about NJ was about further-flung places in NJ closer to PA, not like Hoboken.
