Survey of sleep stories of Westerners and Eastern people

Recently, Science News has published a table comparing the number of sleeping hours of Western and Eastern people. Accordingly, people living in the West tend to sleep more than those who live in the East.

The hours that people in Western countries spend on average nights are about 7-8 hours, while people in Eastern countries often sleep less than 7 hours a night.

The table compares the number of sleep hours of people in Eastern and Western countries.

Looking at the comparison table, we can see that on the days of work, Singaporeans often go to bed at 1:00 pm and wake up around 8 am. On the day off, the number of hours of sleep will be longer - until almost 10am.

Besides, in this industrialized age, the use of more artificial light is also one of the main determinants of sleep schedule.
