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.
The survey, carried out between August 19 and 30 among 1,020 people aged between 18 and 75, also shows that seven out of ten people would like to sleep better.
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.
