South Korean Women Sleep Less and Wake Up More Frequently Than Western Women… Caution Needed for Health Management
A recent analysis of data collected by Samsung Electronics via smartwatches has revealed that the sleep habits of South Korean women differ from those of women in Western countries. This survey was conducted based on the sleep data of approximately 190,000 individuals.
According to the analysis results, it was confirmed that South Korean women sleep, on average, about 25 minutes less than women in Western countries. Furthermore, the phenomenon of waking up frequently during sleep appeared more often, leading to the analysis that their overall sleep quality is somewhat lower.
Experts warn that this lack of sleep and sleep disturbances do not merely cause fatigue. In particular, for menopausal women, sleep disorders are highly likely to lead to various health issues such as cardiovascular or metabolic diseases, so caution is required.
Therefore, experts emphasize the importance of improving one's sleep environment and periodically checking one's sleep status to maintain a healthy daily life. It is recommended to use devices such as smartwatches to identify your sleep patterns and to consult with a professional if any problems arise.
