This World Sleep Day, we took a closer look at the power of good sleep and the surprising habits that shape our rest.
A big thank you to the 260+ participants who took part in our sleep survey! Your insights have given us a fascinating glimpse into how we sleep – and how we can improve it.
What Did We Learn?
Bedtime Habits:
- 55% of respondents go to bed between 10 and 11 PM, while 24% head to bed between 11 and 12 PM.
- Many aim for a regular bedtime on weekdays, yet 54% vary their sleep schedule on weekends, which can contribute to the dreaded Sunday night sleep struggles.
Bedtime Routines:
- 72% of people have a bedtime ritual, with reading being the most popular wind-down activity.
- Other common bedtime habits include meditation, breathing exercises, skincare routines, and enjoying a hot drink.
- Many also use podcasts, audiobooks, or screen time before bed – but beware! Blue light from screens can interfere with melatonin production, making it harder to fall asleep.
The Impact of Routine:
- 28% of respondents don’t have a sleep routine at all. Without a proper wind-down period, falling asleep can become more challenging.
