中国人均睡眠时长全球领先，然质量堪忧！

A new global sleep report reveals that Chinese people average over seven hours of sleep nightly — slightly more than the worldwide average of six hours and 40 minutes. However, quality rest remains a challenge for many.

The study, conducted by IKEA, highlights unique Chinese sleep habits. About 75% of people here take midday naps, averaging 26 minutes, to recharge during busy days. Yet, most still follow a “late to bed, early to rise” routine. Globally, 85% of those surveyed called sleep “one of life’s greatest joys,” with 65% preferring staying home to rest over socializing.

But good sleep isn’t easy to achieve. Nearly 30% of people worldwide rate their sleep quality as poor, blaming stress, health issues, or money worries. In China, over half (52%) struggle with restless nights, mainly due to work pressure, anxiety, or trouble falling asleep. Specific data shows: 13% of Chinese adults regularly face insomnia; 18% are unhappy with their sleep quality; 6% wake up more than twice a night; 43% believe higher income could improve their sleep environment.

Technology also plays a role. Despite concerns about screens disturbing sleep, 91% of Chinese use phones in bed — a number jumping to 98% among those aged 65+. Younger adults (18–34) and high-income groups often bring laptops or tablets into bedrooms for work or entertainment.

The report, titled IKEA Sleep Uncovered, surveyed 55,000 people across 57 markets to explore global sleep patterns and solutions. While Chinese sleep slightly longer than others, the findings suggest that true rest isn’t just about quantity — it’s about creating calm spaces and balancing modern life’s demands. As the world seeks better sleep, the report encourages simple changes: reducing screen time before bed, designing restful bedrooms, and addressing stress. For China’s hardworking population, quality rest might be the next wellness goal.
