AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -We spend about one-third of our life either sleeping or attempting to do so.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sleeping Given that an average a person sleeps for 8 hours in a day, that means that an average person will sleep for 229, 961 hours in their lifetime or basically one third of their life.

Detailed explanation-3: -Several studies suggest that sleep helps us remember because the brain circuits involved in learning are reactivated while we slumber. Some of the most compelling evidence comes from experiments in which cues associated with the learning process are presented to sleeping subjects.

Detailed explanation-4: -This is not surprising – most of us try to split our days into “work, rest and fun”, and so there are some predictable patterns. We spend the most time working and sleeping; and paid work, housework, leisure, eating and sleeping take together 80-90% of the 1440 minutes that we all have available every day.
