The Apple Heart and Movement Study announced in 2019 was developed by Brigham and Women’s Hospital in collaboration with Apple, as well as the American Heart Association, to initially examine the early warning signs of atrial fibrillation (AFib). In a March data release, the same findings show that people need more sleep.
A sleep-focused update released on March 7 reveals that the average amount of time spent sleeping by project participants was 6 hours and 27 minutes. Only 31.2 percent of people manage to get seven or more hours of sleep, the minimum recommended by the AHA.
Most people, exactly 39.7%, hit between six and seven hours, while 20.3% stay between five and six hours a night. Finally, 8.8% do not even get 5 hours of sleep. BWH explains that sleep is considered an important area for health and well-being, impacting areas such as cardiovascular disease, metabolism and mental health.

The researchers also noticed differences depending on the day, whether it was a weekday or a weekend.
As you would expect, most people go to sleep before midnight on a weekday, exactly 66.4%. However, on the weekend, the graph moves later, with 56.6% of attendees going past midnight. The data is based on results from more than 42,000 participants who contributed to the study using Apple Watches and iPhones via the Apple Research app.
