Millions of Britons are losing valuable sleep each night because they are addicted to
social networking according to findings from a new sleep report.
Gone are the days when Britons liked nothing better then to be tucked up in bed with a
mug of cocoa and a good book. In today’s modern society, 72% of adults spend their time in
bed before falling asleep updating or checking their friends status updates on Facebook.
The study commissioned by Travelodge hotels surveyed 6,000 adults to explore the nation’s bedtime habits and key findings revealed we have become a nation of ‘Online-A-Holics’. So bad is the problem that seven out of ten Britons are tweeting, poking, surfing and writing on each others’ walls instead of going to sleep. In addition 18% of adults send a daily night-time tweet to their followers and one in five Britons catch up on tweets from their favourite celebrities and friends in bed. On average each night Britons are spending 16 minutes in bed socially networking with pals - with the peak chatting time being 9.45pm. This time spent social networking is affecting Britons sleep quota as on average respondents reported they are getting just six hours and 21 minutes sleep per night. (This is one hour and 39 minutes below the recommended quota of eight hours of sleep per night.)
