The Science of Sleep
Sleep is so essential and yet so elusive for many of us—particularly in major cities around Asia. A study conducted in 2021 by Sleepseeker, a UK bedding company, found that Singapore was the most sleep-deprived country in the world. In 2020, Hong Kong’s South China reported that more than half of the city’s residents suffered from sleep deprivation, with respondents claiming on average to get just four hours of sleep per night. And a survey conducted by Sleep Cycle, a sleep tracking application, ranked the Philippines as the fourth most sleepless country in the world.
