(Fargo, ND) -- North Dakota is near the top of the list when it comes to just chilling out.

New research from the experts at Hush has revealed the Peace Garden State ranks tied for fifth as the most relaxed area in the US.

Being relaxed plays a major part in helping you to fall asleep – it reduces the release of the stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline, thus calming your body and mind to prepare for bedtime. 

Experts at Hush analyzed Google Trends to discover the level of interest in each US area for various search terms including ‘sleep anxiety’, ‘why can’t I sleep’, and ‘sleep remedies’ to determine which ones had the lowest interest overall.

South Dakota tied North Dakota at fifth most relaxed, while Wyoming took the top spot. The least relaxed state in the country, according to Hush, is Oklahoma.
