Premier Inn Reveals Majority of Brits Suffer from Sleepless Nights

A new study commissioned by Premier Inn has found that 91% of Brits are unable to sleep soundly throughout the night.

(OPENPRESS) Premier Inn has revealed Britain is gripped by an insomnia epidemic, with a staggering 91% of people suffering from sleepless nights.

The vast majority of Brits are unable to sleep soundly through the night, with more than a third of adults (35%) saying they wake up three times or more.

Research commissioned by the UK's best value hotel* chain Premier Inn, questioned 2,000 adults and found that Chelmsford in Essex is the worst place in Britain for a good night's sleep.

The study** found a quarter of the nation (26%) admits that fatigue and tiredness affects their productivity, concentration and ability to do their job. With one in three people (33%) citing worrying as the biggest cause of their restlessness.

The survey, which looked into the main causes of sleeplessness, found that a quarter of adults (26%) across the country are regularly woken by a partner's snoring.

Other causes for sleepless nights identified are pets waking their owners up in the night (8%), a bad dream (20%) and almost one in ten (9%) claiming it's their own snoring keeping them up.

Breaking it down regionally, Coventry is home to Britain's biggest snorers with 40% of adults woken in the night by their partner. Liverpool is the noisy neighbour hotspot with 17% complaining that rowdy residents wake them. But the sleepless capital of Britain is Chelmsford, with a staggering 96% of residents plagued by a constant lack of sleep and a third of the town (31%) saying tiredness leaves them grumpy the next day.

To give the sleep-deprived residents of Chelmsford some well-earned rest Premier Inn took over an ordinary street for one night and transformed it into 'Good Night Sleep Street'.

Sleep aids identified in the survey, including a flock of sheep for residents to count and a night warden to keep noise levels at bay and provide warming drinks, descended upon the street to help ease residents into slumber. Their bid to get Chelmsford sleeping included a signature king size Premier Inn bed that long suffering residents could rest on and read a bedtime story.

Claire Haigh spokeswoman for Premier Inn, said: "Getting a good night's sleep is a struggle for many across the nation, but it seems that the residents of Chelmsford were finding it particularly difficult to relax into a restful slumber.

"We hope that by bringing together the ingredients the nation told us help them to sleep well to the residents of Chelmsford that we've given them a good night's sleep."
