Is it true that you spend 1/3 of your life sleeping

If you think about it, the average person is supposed to get 8 hours of sleep a night. Therefor, that is 1/3 of the day (8/24 = 1/3). I guess that means you sleep for 1/3 of your life.

It depends on the person but if your average person sleeps 8 hours a day out of 24 hours, it means 1/3 (8/24 = 1/3 8 * 8 = 1 and 24 * 8 = 3)

Well, if you think about it, an average human being must sleep around 7-8 hours a day, so like 8/24 = 1/3 so you sleep for like a 1/3 of your day, so i guess that means you sleep for 1/3 of your lifetime too.

If you sleep 8 hours a night, 8/24 = 1/3. I don't come close to eight hours a night sleeping. I'm more like five or six. So I will spend maybe a fourth of my life sleeping.

Not too hard to figure out...there are 24 hours in a day, and you (should) get 8 hours sleep a night. 8 hours out of 24 is 1/3. Scary though, if you htink about it, if you live until you're 90, then you'll have averaged 30 of those years ASLEEP. Life is short, enjoy it.

if you sleep 8 hours a day. That's 1/3 of 24 hours last I checked.

I suppose on average that is about right. I only get about 6 hours of sleep right now but when I was a kid I used to sleep 10-12 hours.

If you spend 8 hours a night sleeping, then yes.
