CUPERTINO, Calif., March 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading smart
wearable company Zepp Health has recently released its 2021
International Sleep White Paper. With data captured by Amazfit and
Zepp smart wearables, the report contains key findings related to
the quality and duration of sleep of over 26 million global users,
to help users better understand the correlation between health
status and sleep conditions. The data collected has been processed
with data masking techniques to ensure personal information
privacy.
Highlighted Findings:
- Global average sleep duration has decreased compared to
2020.
- Users in Belgium had the
longest sleep duration at 7.5 hours.
- Active lifestyles lead to better sleep quality.
- The body is likely to maintain better performance with an
average of 7 to 8 hours of sleep.
- About 16.3% of the globally sampled population nap daily.
According to research conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health, a good night's
sleep is the key to maintaining good health. People who get too
little sleep are exposed to a higher risk of obesity and
cardiovascular diseases than those who can obtain an average of
eight hours of sleep per night. Zepp Health's 2021 International
Sleep White Paper examines key data including sleep duration, BMI,
Resting Heart Rate (RHR), and step count to provide users a
comprehensive overview of sleep status for better health
management.
On average, global users reported 59 days where they got less
than 7 hours of sleep in 2021.
The average global sleep duration has decreased compared to
2020, standing at 7h09mins in 2021, with female users sleeping
relatively longer than their male counterparts. Globally, users
from Belgium have obtained the
longest average sleep duration of 7.5 hours per night, followed by
the Republic of Ireland and
the Netherlands. Comparatively,
users from Indonesia had the least
amount of sleep, with an average sleep duration of 6h36mins,
followed by Japan and Malaysia.
Sleep deprivation refers to getting less than the necessary
amount of sleep for the body to maintain average
performance. Research indicates that adults need at least
seven hours of sleep per night, while children and teens need even
more nightly sleep - ranging from eight to 10 hours. Major sleep
deficiency has even been found to lead to health problems such as
cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, and mental health
disorders.
New findings published in the Journal of Sleep
Research suggest that concerns surrounding the COVID-19
pandemic have significantly contributed to insomnia and sleep
deficiency. In 2021, sleep deprivation was on the rise globally.
Adult users from across the globe reported sleep deprivation at an
average of almost 60 days throughout 2021, with male users
reporting a relatively higher number compared to their female
counterparts.
Active lifestyles lead to better sleep, lower resting heart
rate and a healthier BMI
Zepp Health's annual report shows that users who walk 12,000 to
20,000 steps per day maintain a higher sleep quality and healthier
resting heart rate of about 62. Moderate aerobic exercise is
beneficial to people with insomnia. Therefore, users are
recommended to exercise regularly and maintain an active lifestyle
to improve sleep quality and extend sleep duration.
The report also highlights that sufficient sleep can positively
affect overall physical performance, sleep quality, and reduce
mental stress. BMI is an inexpensive and easy screening method for
one's health status; Zepp Health's annual report shows that with
seven to eight hours of sleep, the body is most likely to maintain
a healthier BMI score, as well as a better sleep score.
Users in Vietnam,
China and Spain prefer to relax with a nap
Harvard's Health
Publishing suggests that napping can improve cognitive
performance by restoring the body and brain. In 2021, 16.3% of the
globally sampled population took naps daily, with an average of 51
minutes of nap time per capita. Globally, 33.8% of users in
Vietnam managed to nap during the
day, followed by 31.4% of users in China and 25.5% of users in Spain. In Spain, napping has become part of the daily
routine, and it is proven to help reduce the risk of mortality from
heart disease. Even with enough sleep at night, people are still
recommended to nap occasionally for better physical performance
throughout the day.
Zepp Health's vision is to create smart products that empower a
healthy lifestyle. The company's advanced sleep monitoring
accurately tracks users' sleep stages and examines their sleep
breathing quality. Through a combination of well-rounded health
assessments, Zepp Health's smart devices provide both a
comprehensive overview of users' sleep quality along with detailed
suggestions for sleep habit improvements. For the full version
