Apr 14, 2018 (soranews24.com) - Japanese men and women seem to sleep as much as one hour less than people from other countries.
In 2014, we shared a study that suggested that Japanese citizens sleep far less than their international counterparts. Four years have passed, and it seems like that still holds true. Using worldwide data compiled through their Polar A370 and Polar M430 model fitness trackers, Polar Electro’s Japan branch revealed that once again, Japan is lacking in the sleep department.
The data compares male and female fitness tracker users from 28 countries all over the world, and reveals that Japanese men and women sleep an average of 6 hours and 35 minutes per night, which is 45 minutes less than the international average, and nearly an hour difference from Finland, whose users seem to sleep the most.
The top five countries where men and women got the most sleep on average were:
Men: Finland (7:24), women: Finland and Belgium (7:45)
Men: Estonia (7:23)
Men and women: France and Estonia (7:23 and 7:44 respectively)
Men and women: Austria (7:21 and (7:36, respectively)
Men: Holland (7:20), women: Holland and Canada (7:41)
