Sleep around the world
Sleep something some we all have to do and something some of us love (yes that would be me) and something some people think is just time wasted, but have you ever wondered how your sleep pattern stacks up against the average in the UK and if sleep is similar, no matter where in the world you come from?
Well if the answer is yes, then never fear as Mattress Next Day have taken the time to put together some interesting statistics from around the world.
Well I have to say I definitely sleep more than average (who would have guesses that? OK everyone). However I did found it interesting when looking at the UK against other countries, that we seem to come somewhere in the middle when it comes to amount of time spent sleeping both on work days and at the weekend.
The part that participially caught my eye as I found rather interesting was that only 7% of people are getting enough sleep in the UK, but 82% believe their routine offers enough time for sleeping, so why don’t you stop for a minute and just ponder how much do you sleep and are you really getting enough?
Does anything about this infographic surprise you?

I most definitely need at least 8 hrs sleep, I cant function at all without it x
Sleep patterns are really interesting! Several US Presidents and other high functioning, high profile characters have/had crazy sleep patterns, with naps throughout the day. One of them even held meetings from his bed! I wish I could do that… humans are biologically set to nap, 9-5 doesn’t work for us! And definitely not for me! 😀 zzz
