App shows that the election negatively impacted sleep on Nov. 5, tell us how you slept on Election night
If Election Day kept you tossing and turning until the early morning hours, you're not alone: More than 34% of people using Sleep Cycle, a sleep tracker app, said the election impacted their sleep on Nov. 5, according to a report by the company.
However, according to Sleep Cycle's data, it appears people were able to sleep better this year than they did on election night in 2020. Four years ago, more than 44% of users nationwide had said election night impacted their sleep.
Sleep Cycle's data also showed the average Wisconsin user went to bed a little earlier this year: the average election night bedtime in Wisconsin was 11:16 p.m., compared to 11:29 p.m. in 2020.
Perhaps that's because getting preliminary election results in swing state Wisconsin took longer than most states in 2020. In recent elections, the state's absentee ballot counting system and increasingly tight voter margins has pushed presidential race calls into the next day.
This year, the Associated Press called Wisconsin — and the presidential race — for President-elect Donald Trump at 4:34 a.m. CT on Nov. 6.
