SINGAPORE - Fewer than one in five Singaporeans gets the
recommended eight hours of sleep daily, and more than half have
difficulties falling asleep, according to a new survey by global
research firm 2CV.
Some of the top reasons cited for poor quality of sleep include
work-related stress, personal or relationship-related stress and
uncomfortable room temperature.
A quarter of Singaporeans also complained of physical discomfort
and pain preventing them from having a good night's rest.
The survey targeted about 1,000 Singaporeans between the ages of 20
and 59. Among students, half said they slept badly because they
often use their smartphones or tablets just before going to
sleep.
