Answer: Phone scrolling
Clues: “Device” and “Scan”
A mattress company recently conducted a wide-ranging survey on Americans’ sleep habits, and here are some fun stats that came out of it:
1. Americans average 6.6 hours of sleep per night, which is less than the 7.1 hours they’d consider “ideal.”
2. In a typical month, we get just 10 “perfect” nights of sleep and eight “bad” nights.
3. About 25% of people go to bed during the 10:00 P.M. hour, making it the most popular bedtime. 35% get in bed sometime before that, while 37% go to bed later.
4. 39% prefer to sleep on the right side of the bed. 32% prefer to be on the left. At the same time, 31% like to pick the side furthest from the door, and 25% prefer the side that’s closer.
5. And around 67% of people say that watching TV and movies, or phone-scrolling counts as “part of going to bed.” 75% of Gen Z and Millennials agree, but only about half of Boomers are onboard with that.
