How Much Americans Sleep, Text And Pee Every Day


How average are you compared to the rest of America? According to Wired, the most statistically regular American person smiles 20 times a day, stares at screens for a whopping 11 of the day's 24 hour cycle and sleeps 8.7 hours a night.

If that sleep number sounds a little funny to you, there are a few discrepancies when it comes to how much sleep we get each night, mostly because the self-reporting is flawed.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports Americans get too little shuteye -- just a bit more than six hours a night -- but a survey of time use suggests we get a whole lot more than that.
