Detailed explanation-1: -How many days does the average person sleep for during their lifetime? If the average night’s sleep is eight hours (ie one third of a day), one sleeps for one third of one’s life. If you live, say, 75 years, that’s 25 years asleep, or 9, 125 days.

Detailed explanation-2: -A good night’s sleep is vital for every human being to survive. 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.
