Sleep and exercise compete for people’s time
Mathias Basner of the Perelman School of Medicine has led a study that analyzed American Time Use Survey data to see how people spend their time. “We all have 24 hours in a day, so for the people who only sleep five or six hours, are they doing a healthy behavior or sitting in front of the TV eating chips?” said Basner. “We’ve been trying to identify activities that could be traded for more sleep.”
