Q: Despite our best efforts, 9 out of 10 Canadians fail to achieve this on a regular basis. What is it?
A: Sleep through the night without waking up before they intended.
Eight in ten Canadians (79%) have a bedtime routine or technique to help them fall asleep more quickly, but only 11% manage to sleep through the night without waking up before they intended, a new Ipsos poll for Dermalogica Canada has found. Interestingly, those with a bedtime routine are not significantly more likely to fall asleep quicker or to sleep more soundly – perhaps suggesting that their routine or technique might not be helping all that much.
Whether they have a bedtime routine or not, Canadians typically wake up twice per night, although the vast majority (79%) experience no more than three interruptions to their sleep. Three in ten (28%) wake up once during the night, one in three (33%) twice, two in ten (18%) three times, while the remaining 10% wake up four or more times (10%) every night.
