What Time Do Most People Wake Up? – (Statistics And Charts)

By / health

Do you wonder if you should wake up earlier or later? Maybe you are wondering how your waking up compares with other people? We did our research, and also created our own poll, and asked our audience “What time do you wake up?” all of that to create a relevant report about “What time do most people wake up” we’ll provide the answer here in the article.

From our poll and studies that we have found we can assume that most people wake up at 7:30 AM and as the reason, most people said that they have a job that starts at 9:00 AM so they need to prepare and get to the office or job place. That will give us about 40 minutes to prepare before leaving our house and 50 minutes to drive or walk to our job place. If you want to know the exact percentage of specific hours that people wake up then stay with us.

How to wake up earlier?

Most people do need about 8 hours of sleep every day, which makes our whole life exactly 1/3 based on sleep. That can be a little disappointing because another 8 hours we have to spend in our full-time job. So how to wake up earlier and save some of that time?

If our body is active and healthy we can reduce that 8 hours of sleep to 7 or even sometimes 6, but do that you will need to get into shape, like doing jogging or bouldering, for girls we highly recommend doing the squats. Also, a proper diet can make your sleep more efficient, providing your body with necessary vitamins so make sure to check our article about healthy diets.

If you are already active and do a lot of sports then you should try to do a special type of nap called “power naps” which can give you a lot of energy if you feel sleepy. That way you will have to at least 2 times per day go to your bed but your overall sleep time will drastically reduce.

Things like coffee can ruin your sleep routine, especially if you are drinking it before walking up stairs to your bedroom, so think about it twice.

You should also take care of your bed to make your sleep comfortable. That will make you weel-rested quicker, but also note that waking up earlier isn’t necessary for everyone if it’s good for you to stay awake late in the night then don’t change it!
