During the working week the average bedtime for adults in Britain is 10.43pm, according to our new national research for Sleeptember.
The online survey which polled 2,000 British adults to paint an accurate picture of the nation’s sleeping habits was conducted as part of our big Sleeptember campaign.
Our survey also reveals that the average night’s sleep lasts just 6 hours and 28 minutes and that sleepy Brits don’t think they’re getting enough shut eye. Though weeknights sees UK homes turn out the lights reasonably early, an astonishing three out of 10 householders claim they would be more productive at work if their boss allowed them to have a brief nap during the working day.

We were astonished to find with the huge majority of Brits admitting they love sleep and so many claiming they don’t get enough sleep at night, that Britain doesn’t go to bed earlier on a weeknight.
It seems that even when we are under the duvet there are too many distractions – particularly due to us keeping tabs on Facebook through our smartphones and tablets – to get a decent night’s sleep. Then when it’s not Facebook its our snoring husbands and wives who are to blame. At the same time there are some simple changes that can help avoid a disturbed night’s sleep such as changing their duvet according to the seasons, a change over which half of the UK don’t make.
As a fourth generation British business with over 100 years of innovation behind us; our united purpose at work is simply to create a better product for a better night’s sleep.
