If you’re yawning your way through work and trying to make it past the afternoon slump, you’re in good company here in Denver…

CPAP.com has just come out with a list of the Most Fatigued Cities in the U.S.

Their team of researchers ranked the 100 most populated cities in the country on factors like noise pollution, light pollution, air quality and work-life balance.

To judge work-life balance, they looked at how much time people spend commuting in traffic, the percentage of remote workers and the work stress levels of each city.

People in New York City are the most fatigued in the country, but Denver is the second most fatigued city, followed by Chicago in third.

Check out the map here to see why they determined Denver is so tired.
