What cities would you nominate where it's easy to live a low-stress lifestyle, where working a full time job with normal (hard working but not excessive) hours, low commuting times, etc, still leaves plenty of time to get a good night's sleep and be well rested? Obviously, not New York, Los Angeles, or Las Vegas. Are there any cities in the US that meet the bill?

Its all up to the individual's sleep needs. I know many people from Chicago who get plenty of sleep, and many from small towns that dont. Budget in sleep time, simple as that.
Anywhere in Ohio because there is nothing exciting to make you stay up all night. Unless you count drinking yourself silly to wash away feelings of being forever stuck in the twilight zone.

Tulsa, Oklahoma might be up your alley. The pace of life is pretty slow here in Little Rock, Arkansas also. Basically pick any small to mid-sized city that is not a huge party, college, or tourist town.
I guess it depends on what size of city you're looking for. Where I live, I get plenty of rest and my commute is never more than 10 minutes. However my town only has about 80,000 people and we never really have traffic. Streetlights begin flashing at 11 o'clock in some areas too.

Ft. Smith, AR (pop 80,000) was like that. The streets rolled up at sunset in that town. You could drive the main drag at 10pm and not see another car on the street. All the stores and restaurants closed at 9pm.
Chicago is great if you can live and work in the city. Beautiful lakefront with miles of park and jogging paths. Cool neighborhoods that are walkable in all regards linked to downtown by great subway/el trains and express buses. For example, live in Lakeview or Lincoln Park on the northside and your commute downtown to your job will be less than 30 minutes.
Any city near family and friends where you live within in your means with a job you enjoy near activities you enjoy.
