That's good to knoooo*yaaaaawn!*... excuse me, guess it's time for a nap. before I go visit my friends.

 

[Polymathic]

Which is strange, I found that South Africans start their day earlier than many other countries people. Maybe we sleep earlier than most people.

I wonder how big the sample is. I sleep about 7 hours a night, don't really have friends, work a lot, exercise an hour a day. Must be an outlier.

Seems like a natural consequence of rampant unemployment...

If one works that much, how does one have time for MyBB?

 

[Wut]

For a moment I thought it was "sleeping with friends" Obviously I didn't get enough sleep last night...

Worrying - Money already off shore
Googling Europe/Canada - Have Irish passport so just Googling "cheapest one way tickets not on SAA"

 

[Pineapple Smurf]

Are these stats from Bwanas poll 2 weeks ago asking how much we sleep?
I was only kidding about sleeping 10hrs a night

Sorry guys

The OECD’s time use database.

The OECD’s time-use surveys record information on how people precisely allocate their time across different day-to-day activities.

For these surveys, the OECD creates a large sample of people who keep a diary of activities over one or several representative days for a given period.

Interesting... I wonder what their reach is, or do they simply omit the 51% who live in poverty.
*Edit* they have enough data on poverty to make me think they have a more complete sample than most...

 

[Swa]

The OECD’s time use database shows that South Africans sleep an average of 553 hours per week, equating to 9.22 hours per day.

Bar-One, for a 79 hour day.

 

[Romito]

I always see my friends every time I close my eyes, is that bad?
