Two out of five north -Americans are “bad” in the mornings: these are the most common struggles: the study

Two out of five north -Americans are “bad” in the mornings, according to new research.

The survey of 2,000 North -American general populations revealed 38% according to this feeling, and respondents left bed later than expected an average of eight times a month.

For one in ten respondents, this happens more than 20 times a month.

When they rushed for their morning routine, after being left in bed longer than expected, respondents were more likely to jump -breakfast (41%).

But others will neglect their personal hygiene: 16% will jump shower -11% will spend the day without brushing their teeth.

Commissioned by the avocado green mattress and by Talker Research, the survey also examined the alarm habits of the respondents. Less than half (43%) use an alarm to wake up in the morning, and for these respondents, the results revealed that their first alarm turns off at 6:33 AM

Younger generations were more likely to rely on an alarm: while only a fifth (19%) Baby Boomers established an alarm, 63% of the Z gene and the millennials do the same.

Throughout the ages, the average alarm user sets two alarms in the morning and one fifth will hit at least three times before leaving bed.

The survey also divided the respondents for early birds and night owls to see how this affects their alarm habits and sleep in general. The two -thirds (67%) of the first birds using an alarm said it is “very effective” to get them out of bed in time, compared to half (52%) of the night owls.

The first birds were more likely to use a “ standard ” or pre -established alarm (70% vs 58%), while night owls were more likely to have a “ annoying ” sound, such as a fire alarm or cars sinking, to awaken them (20% against 12%).

Not surprisingly, night owls were more likely to fight to get out of bed on time (54% vs 17%). Night owls were also more likely to say that their body needs more sleep than they are currently achieving (70% against 55%).

This despite the fact that the two groups have the same amount of sleep, about six and a half hours per night.

“Whether you are a morning person or a nightly owl, quality sleep is not negotiable,” said Laura Scott, a brand marketing director at Avocado Green Mattress. “Your natural sleep rhythm should be supported, not interrupted, by an environment designed for a deep and restorative rest.”

The main reason the North -Americans don’t sleep enough? Their concerns keep them (51%).

It was followed by a sleep condition (such as insomnia, sleep apnea, etc.) (30%) and nightmares or stress dreams (20%).

Also in the first five places there was an uncomfortable bed or mattress that made it more difficult to sleep (19%) and strong noises outside (14%) keeping the respondents awake.

While night owls (35%) and early birds (37%) were almost equally prone to struggle to fall asleep, night owls were more likely to face other difficulties.

This included going to sleep later than they should “” in the evening (48% vs 24%), struggling to fall asleep -(44% vs 27%) and stay in bed longer than “they would have” “in the morning (25% vs 8%).

“So many of us wake up at night, our minds run with worry or stress,” said Scott. “That is why it is so important to create spaces of sleep and quiet and solidarity habits, so you can wake up feeling like yourself.”
