International Bedroom Poll: Sleep Differences Among Six Countries

Is sleep universal across the globe? The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) released its first international poll today, the 2013 International Bedroom Poll, comparing sleep times, attitudes, habits and bedtime routines of those in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Germany and Japan between the ages of 25 and 55 years old. The results showed that Japan and the United States report the least amount of sleep. Less than one-half of people in Mexico (48%), the United States (44%), Canada (43%), the United Kingdom (42%) and Germany (40%), and slightly more than one-half in Japan (54%) say they get a good night's sleep every night or almost every night on work nights or week nights. Roughly nine out of ten in Mexico (92%), Germany (90%) and the United Kingdom (86%) and three-fourths in the United States (78%), and Canada (78%) agree they feel more relaxed if their bedroom has a fresh, pleasant scent.
