FULL STORY: For some people, the secret to CONTINUING TO FUNCTION isn’t sleep . . . it’s having periodic “lazy days.” So how many lazy days would you need a month to keep going. Two? Four? 25?
According to a new poll, the average American needs five lazy days a month to feel rested and relaxed. That’s 60 per year, and a little more than one a week.
Obviously, lazy days don’t usually happen on their own, so 21% plan their lazy days in advance . . . and 11% actually put them on their calendar.
So what is a “lazy day”? Here’s how the people in the poll shaped it:
3 hours . . . doing absolutely nothing
3 hours . . . just sitting and enjoying your living space
3 hours . . . watching movies and TV
2 hours . . . in bed
2 hours . . . napping
2 hours . . . scrolling on your phone
1 hour . . . eating
1 hour . . . reading
1 hour . . . listening to an audiobook or podcast
1 hour . . . dreading the next day.
That’s 19 hours, leaving five hours to sleep. Which sounds about right. Even when you DO get a day to yourself, you can’t get a “normal” night of sleep.
