The survey published on Sunday also reveals some unusual habits. Over a quarter of residents in Italian-speaking canton Ticino sleep with a pet. That compares with only 9% among German-speakers.

A study by the Swiss Federal Statistical Office revealed last week that a third of the Swiss population suffered from sleep disorders in 2022, marking a rise of five percentage points over 25 years.
