The average a person sleeps for 8 hours in a day, which means that an average person will sleep for 229,961 hours in their lifetime or basically one third of their life. Some will sleep less some will sleep more but this is just a generality based on if you live an average of 78 years.

I know that we SHOULD get 8 hours of sleep each day, but how many of us really do? The question should have read "How much of your life SHOULD be spent sleeping?"

The question itself really has no wrong answer. While i know what was meant by the question, it asks how much of your do life do you sleep? That is a personal question, which the right answer is what you sleep not what the average is.

Cindy Flom Schreiber, You are right there. I sleep between 4 and 5 hours maximum.

I would like to occasionally get 8 hours of sleep, but it seems that 5 hours per night is my normal.

babolataeropro, NO, do NOT sleep in on week-ends. Sleep Dr.’s say that is a good way to wreck your circadian rhythm!

And the answer didn't factor in that babies sleep much more and old people often sleep much less. Oh, and if only I could sleep for 8 whole hours!!!

The question asked "How much of your life is spent sleeping?" That means "My" life and I spend half my life sleeping (12 hrs a day!) 'Cept when I'm working occasionally when I only spend 1/3.

So, bedtime should be 10pm and rise at 6am weekdays for example. Sleep-in on weekends.

Most babies sleep more than 8 hours a day... lots of old people sleep less... people sleep more when they are sick... less when they are overextended.... so I am sure they are right that it still averages out to being about a third of our life.
