Sleepless in Georgia: how sports are stealing fans’ rest

Forget broken hearts – it’s the agony of a missed field goal or a ninth-inning collapse keeping Georgia fans up at night.

A recent study by Wetten found that 26% of Americans lose sleep over their favorite sports team’s performance. Georgia fans lie awake for an average of 62 minutes after a loss, ranking the state at No. 14.

The emotional rollercoaster of close games and controversial calls causes insomnia, disrupting rest and daily life. With intense devotion to teams like the Atlanta Braves and Georgia Bulldogs, fans struggle to relax, leading to restless nights consumed by their team’s ups and downs.
