How Americans spend their days
SLEEPING accounts for more than a third of the average American's day. According to the Bureau of Labour Statistics' latest time use survey, women get 11 minutes more kip a night than men do, and spend 29 more minutes cooking and clearing up. Men spend an extra four minutes a day eating and drinking, an extra 10 minutes exercising and eight more minutes mowing the lawn. On an average day 83 percent of women and 65 percent of men spend some time doing household activities. On the days that they work, employed men toil 47 minutes more than employed women. Television accounts for the largest share of Americans' leisure time. People over 25 years old who have not obtained a high school diploma spend two thirds more time watching the box than those who hold a bachelor's degree. They also spend four times as much time thinking and relaxing, while those academic high achievers prefer to play on their computers.
