Individuals in Germany typically get over eight hours and a half of sleep daily on average.
It ain't amazing that families with kids catch the least Z's. In the year 2022, the average sleep duration for such couples was eight hours and fifteen minutes per day, which was a nineteen-minute deficit compared to childless couples living in the same home. Single parents slept ten minutes less compared to singles without children.
Generally, sleep duration decreases as you age and climbs back up in your elderly years. Youngsters under 18 years slept the most, snoozing for an average of nine hours and forty-two minutes daily in 2022.
Individuals between 18 and 29 years caught some Z's for eight hours and forty-seven minutes, approximately an hour less compared to those between 30 and 44 years and 45 and 64 years, who managed to sleep for eight hours and twenty minutes. On the other hand, folks over 65 years old slept for eight hours and forty-six minutes, similar to the sleep duration of 18- to 29-year-olds.
This data comes from the stats office, which collects it approximately every ten years. The details from 2022 are based on this collection. Participants jot down their daily activities and sleeping times on three specific days: two weekdays and one weekend day.
Both nighttime dozing and daytime snoozes (naps) are noted down, along with the time spent in bed before and after bedtime, unless other activities are being done.
