Researchers have given this information using the data of Apple Heart and Movement Study. The study, published this month by Brigham and Women’s Hospital in the US, is based on the sleep data of more than 42,000 Apple Watch users.

On analyzing the study, the researchers found that 66.4% people go to bed earlier than 12 midnight on weekdays i.e. Monday to Friday, but this number decreases to 56.6% on weekends i.e. Saturday-Sunday. Washington had the most people with 38.3% sleeping more than 7 hours, while Hawaii had the least number of people sleeping more than 7 hours.

The sleep ratio of a total of 42,455 people involved in the study shows that the average sleep time per person was 6 hours 27 minutes per night. On the other hand, the American Heart Association recommends 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night. Those who sleep less than this may have to face problems like stress, obesity, high BP, sugar, increasing cholesterol levels along with heart related diseases.
