Larks and midnight oil for Asians
More people go to bed later and wake up earlier in Asia than in any other region, a sleep study has found.
The poll of 14,100 people in 28 countries and regions found 40% of people in Asia go to sleep after midnight.
Half of the 10 places with the most early-risers were also in Asia, with Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, in premier position.
But Australians sleep the longest - 31% average more than nine hours a night.
Taiwan is Asia's most nocturnal country, according to the poll conducted by AC Nielsen, where 69% of people said they go to sleep after midnight.
In Indonesia, on the other hand, 91% of people said they got out of bed by 0700.
In Japan, a nation famed for its long working hours, people appeared to get the least sleep - 41% saying they got six hours or less a night.
