Do you know where in the world people get the best - and the worst - sleep? A survey recently conducted by the popular mobile app "Sleep Cycle" revealed the sleeping habits of different countries. Let's take a look!
How much sleep do we need to stay healthy?
An adult needs to sleep for 7-9 hours per night to stay healthy. Anyway, an individual's healthy sleep pattern depends on genetics and lifestyle. Even 6 hours of sleep can be enough for some people. As we get older, we need less sleep. To stay healthy, people aged 65 and above should sleep approximately 1 hour less than they used to.
Where do people sleep the most?
Most New Zealanders go to bed at 11:30 PM at wake up at 7 in the morning.
Which country sleeps the least?
The Japanese also wake up at 7 AM, but they go to bed only at 12:50 AM.
Where do the earliest risers live?
The citizens of South Africa are the earliest risers, anyway, most of them manage to get 7 hours of sleep per night.
Where do people get up late in the morning?
Even on weekdays, the Greeks prefer to stay in bed for a little longer than the rest of the world. On average, they go to bed at 1 AM.
The quality of sleep
The quality of sleep depends not only on its duration. If your sleep is interrupted all the time, your body doesn't recover properly. The time you get up and go to bed also plays an important role, as well as your level of physical activity during the day. Among the countries surveyed, Slovaks have the best sleep quality.
Best wake-up mood
People from the Middle East, Kuwait, UAE and Saudi Arabia sleep latest on Thursdays.
The users from the Western world are the happiest at the end of the week:
But it seems clear that...
Nearly 90% of the countries surveyed sleep late on Saturdays and wake up in the best mood. What about you?
How well do Americans sleep?
The USA ranks the 48th in the world sleep quality ranking.

😴Young or old we need to sleep according to what we need. Sleeping is like charging battery. Some battery are fully consumed, so it needs a bit longer to fully charged.

You are right about sleeping less when we get older. I have a singular pattenr, since I usually go to bet late, at 3 a.m. and wake up around 11.

I am guilty of not handling sleeping schedules as I should. Take too long of an afternoon nap. Wake up at 3 AM and grab my Kindle; read until I can't stay awake any longer than doze off for a few more hours.

My Mrs can sleep the clock around and wake up wondering why I’m disturbing her⏱

I've always woken up at 4:00 AM,even though I sometimes went to sleep at 2:00 AM.

As for me, I have to wait for my upstairs neighbors to stop throwing furniture (and sometimes I think it is a safe) on the floor and dragging it around
And I am up and about by 6:30 because I have to work - even though I have a home office

The main reason for people in those Middle East countries to wake up in a better mood on Thursday is exactly the same as for people in the West to wake up happy on Friday: Thursday and Friday are respectively the last working day in the week :)

Very interesting; take in consideration the specific Cicadian Rythmn of genetic coding. I like to go to bed at 1am and wake up at 9am.
