睡眠って大事なんよ。
In the U.S., people tend to go to bed earlier and prioritize self-care.
Most folks head to sleep around 10 p.m. since work usually ends by 5 or 6.
A lot of people hit the gym or spend time reading at night.
Their average sleep time is pretty stable—about 7 hours.
Investing in sleep apps and high-quality bedding is super popular.
Sleep is seen as part of good self-management,
so not getting enough rest can make you seem… kinda unproductive.
In France, nights are all about slowing down and socializing.
People usually go to bed between 11 p.m. and midnight—later than in the U.S., but not as late as in Japan.
Dinner starts around 8 p.m., and it’s common to enjoy a long, relaxed meal with wine for two hours or more.
They tend to get a bit more sleep than the average Japanese person,
and nighttime is seen as a key part of enjoying life.
For them, enjoying the night = enjoying life—
so even if they’re night owls, they still come off as really fulfilled.
Spain is surprisingly one of the most “night owl” countries!
Most people go to bed after midnight,
mainly because dinner happens super late—around 9 or 10 p.m.
After that, it’s all about hanging out with family or watching TV.
The siesta (midday nap) tradition also plays a role.
It’s totally normal for kids to be up late too.
Nighttime there is prime time for social life!
