New York is the city that goes to bed at a completely reasonable hour

New York talks a big game on never sleeping — but when you actually dig into the data, as fitness tracker company Jawbone recently did, you see that New Yorkers are actually the earliest to bed among major cities.

Jawbone makes the fitness tracker UP, and that gives them a data set with tens of thousands of people's sleeping habits in each major city in the United States (and at least 5,000 per international city).

When Jawbone expands its data set out to some smaller cities, they show that Brisbane actually goes to sleep the earliest — average bedtime among UP wearers. They turn down, on average, at 10:57 p.m. and wake up at 6:29 a.m. Moscow easily takes the latest bedtime, with the average UP user going to bed at 12:46 a.m.

Tokyo, meanwhile, can more accurately claim the mantle for the city that doesn't spend much time in bed: the average resident with an UP tracker sleeps 5 hours and 46 minutes.

The UP data captures cultural patterns, like afternoon naps in Madrid and Beijing. See more of the Jawbone data here.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
