If you multiplied the average recommended number of hours we should sleep in a day—eight for a typical adult—by the number of days in an average lifespan (78.8 years in the United States), that would amount to about 9,587.3 days. That’s one third of your life spent unconscious.
Or you can divide 24 hours in a day by 8 hours of sleep a day and get the same conclusion. A third of a day every day is a third of your life.
