SINGAPORE - Fewer than one in five Singaporeans gets the recommended eight hours of sleep daily, and more than half have difficulties falling asleep, according to a new survey by global research firm 2CV.
Some of the top reasons cited for poor quality of sleep include work-related stress, personal or relationship-related stress and uncomfortable room temperature.
A quarter of Singaporeans also complained of physical discomfort and pain preventing them from having a good night's rest.
The survey targeted about 1,000 Singaporeans between the ages of 20 and 59. Among students, half said they slept badly because they often use their smartphones or tablets just before going to sleep.

with the targeted age group of this survey, i believe almost or all of us possess a smartphone and i can say that most cant make do without one. also, one can forgo a few hours of sleeping time just to play games or watch videos. Though it's a form of relaxation after one whole day of game, it kinda get our mind more alert. hence, this can disrupt our sleeping quality as well, which one most common is having endless dreams or tossing on the bed. research has shown that with every 30 min of sleep debt, it can actually increases the risk of one getting obesity and diabetes. so guys, it's time to put down the smartphone before bedtime to get some quality rest.
