Each country has its own unique life rhythm and a corresponding sleep regime formed accordingly.
Modern.az reports that recent statistics from global information platforms have revealed the countries with the most sleep worldwide.
According to the research, in some countries, traditions like the "siesta" daytime nap increase the total sleep duration. In other countries, social life that continues until late hours leads to a decrease in nighttime sleep. Experts state that sleep duration is not only a biological necessity but also closely related to cultural and social factors.
