I knew they sleep less 😱😱... Korean people's sleep quality? 🤔🤔

A survey has found that the sleep quality of Koreans is about 5 points lower than the global average.

On the 24th (local time), American smart device company Garmin announced the "2024 Garmin Connect Data Report," which analyzes health and fitness activity data recorded through its products worldwide. According to the report, the global average for the "Body Battery" score, which indicates an individual's energy level for a single day, was 71 points this year. The country with the highest Body Battery score was the Netherlands, with an average of 74 points, while Japan had the lowest at 66 points. South Korea was recorded as below average with a score of 68, which is relatively low.

The sleep score, which indicates the quality of sleep, was also below the average in Korea. This year, the global average sleep score was 71 points, indicating a "moderate" level, while Korea scored 66 points, which is 5 points lower. The country with the highest score was the Netherlands (73 points), and the lowest was Indonesia (64 points).

However, the stress level was among the lowest worldwide. The global average stress level measured by Garmin Watch was 30 points, while Korea recorded 28 points. The region with the highest stress level is Malaysia (33 points).

Meanwhile, the optimal sleep duration for health is 8-9 hours for adolescents and 7-8 hours for adults. To maintain healthy sleep, it is important to go to bed and wake up at fixed times. The sleeping environment should be dark and quiet. Darkness activates the secretion of melatonin, which induces sleep. Using a small lamp or indirect lighting is also an option. It is recommended to take a shower, half-body bath, or foot bath 1-2 hours before bedtime. Our bodies relax from 1-2 hours before sleep, and activities like showers or foot baths effectively relax the body and promote deep sleep. For people with sensitive nerves who have difficulty sleeping, taking magnesium at night may be helpful.
