South African’s get the lest amount of sleep in the world!
South Africans are the earliest risers in the world
New data published by sleep tracking app, Sleep Cycle, shows that South Africans
clock fewer hours sleeping than any other nation in the world.
The data is based on 941,329 men and women who shared their sleeping patterns voluntarily and anonymously through the app over the past year.
The app tracks sleep time and sleep quality, which is determined by tracking movements in bed, using a smartphone’s accelerometer to identify sleep phases.
South Africa’s average wake-up time is 06h24, the earliest out of all countries where
Sleep Cycle is used – while our bed time is also in the top 20 latest, placing 16th at
00h20. This means, on average, South Africans enjoy just over six hours of sleep a night – the lowest average sleep time recorded in Sleep Cycle’s data
