Bedtime? Study tracks when Americans fall asleep

Is there a “prime” bedtime? A new study found the average American falls asleep at 11:18 p.m. Conducted by Talker Research on behalf of Avocado Green Mattress, a new survey of 2,000 general population Americans explored respondents’ nighttime routines and sleep habits — digging into their bedtimes. The results found that the average respondent begins their nighttime routine at 10:15 p.m., taking 21 minutes to get ready for bed, on average — meaning respondents are then tucked into bed by 10:36 p.m. But it takes about forty minutes before they actually fall asleep, as results revealed the average American doesn’t drift off until about a quarter past 11 o’clock.
