According to researchers in Germany, we spend on average 24 years of our life sleeping, and 7 years at our jobs. The time we spend eating is 5 years. Education is only 1 year and 10 months. 9 months is spent commuting. 4 months of our lives playing computer games (though I suspect that given the amount of time I spent on MMOGs and what I do for a living, I have spent far more time playing computer games than the average person at the cost of sleeping — but that’s okay — after all, who’s going to miss a month here or there when there’s 24 years to account for?
Of course, another study has found that Lack of Sleep Affects Doctors Like Alcohol Does.
those numbers don't make sense. that's weird number cookery. you can't take straight averages of people without indicating demographics or else those numbers would make no sense and loose value.
I agree. Their methodology sounds suspect -- taking surveys of people and asking them how long they spend doing x is not going to give realistic results.
