South Korean women sleep less and wake up more often than those in Western countries
A recent analysis of sleep data from approximately 190,000 smartwatch users by Samsung Electronics has revealed interesting facts about the sleep habits of South Korean women. According to the study, South Korean women sleep about 25 minutes less on average than women in Western countries.
The data analysis showed that South Korean women have a strong tendency to wake up frequently during their sleep. This is analyzed as one of the main factors reducing overall sleep quality. This sleep disturbance phenomenon was particularly pronounced as age increased.
Experts warn that such sleep deprivation and sleep disturbances can have a significant impact on health, beyond simply causing fatigue. In particular, for menopausal women, sleep disorders can increase the risk of cardiovascular or metabolic diseases, requiring special attention.
In conclusion, to maintain a healthy daily life, it is important to accurately understand one's sleep patterns and make efforts to improve them. Experts advise that developing regular sleep habits and improving the sleep environment to get sufficient rest is the first step toward disease prevention.
