New data from nutrition and wellness brand JuicePlus+ shows that New York ranks as one of the most exhausted states in the country, with residents reporting high levels of mental, sleep, and nutritional fatigue across a range of Google search behavior. The analysis found New York to be the 3rd most exhausted state overall, as well as a hotspot for burnout, concentration issues, sleep troubles, and energy crashes.

Why it matters

Burnout and fatigue can have serious consequences for both individual and community wellbeing, leading to decreased productivity, strained relationships, and negative health outcomes. As one of the nation's most populous and economically important states, high levels of exhaustion in New York could have broader implications for the state's economy and quality of life.

The details

The JuicePlus+ Exhaustion Index analyzed fatigue-related Google search behavior across 100 keywords in January 2026, tracking physical, mental, sleep-related, and nutrition-linked fatigue signals. New York ranked 3rd overall for exhaustion, with particularly high levels of mental fatigue (3rd nationwide), sleep issues (4th), and nutritional fatigue (5th).
