How Much Americans Sleep, Text And Pee Every Day

Apparently, we sweat and fart a lot, too đź’¨

How average are you compared to the rest of America? According to Wired, the most statistically regular American person smiles 20 times a day, stares at screens for a whopping 11 of the day's 24 hour cycle and sleeps 8.7 hours a night.

If that sleep number sounds a little funny to you, there are a few discrepancies when it comes to how much sleep we get each night, mostly because the self-reporting is flawed. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports Americans get too little shuteye -- just a bit more than six hours a night -- but a survey of time use suggests we get a whole lot more than that.

Check out the video from Wired to see how your day (and night) compares to the rest of American's.
