How much is a good night’s sleep worth to you?
A new survey asked people to imagine throwing a stack of cash at health issues in order to never have to deal with the ailment again.
How fat of a stack are we talking?
3-thousand Americans weighed in.:
- Overall, people in most states were willing to spend the most to get a good night’s sleep, saying they’d pay an average of $27,418 ($27-thousand 418) to never suffer from insomnia again.
- The price tag respondents would put on having complete immunity from COVID? A year’s worth of rent.
- To avoid the pain of hangovers, people would be willing to spend $82.55 every month, far less than the $182.99 they’d gladly give monthly to not have pimples or acne.
- Missouri respondents would be more than happy to pay over $47-thousand to never throw up again.
- Pennsylvanians say they’d gladly pay $60,918 to never be burdened with allergies again. (For perspective, the median household income in Pennsylvania is $63,627.)
- When asked what they’d sacrifice to never have COVID or a hangover again, the top responses include brunch, coffee, Netflix, fast food, social media and the beach.
The average price Americans would be willing to pay to never deal with these conditions again:
- Insomnia: $27,418
- Allergies: $13,901
- Covid-19: $13,593
- Stomach-aches or cramps: $12,137
- Acne or pimples: $11,219
- Throwing up: $10,373
