Sleep close to 9 hours, sports at just 12 minutes: Türkiye’s daily routine study
While people in Türkiye averaged nearly nine hours of sleep a day in 2025, they dedicated just 12 minutes to sports and fitness, an official time-use study revealed on June 26.
The Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK) published the study outlining how the country’s residents distribute their 24-hour day among various activities, marking the third iteration of a research series previously conducted in 2006 and 2015.
The research indicated that individuals aged 10 and older spend an average of eight hours and 55 minutes sleeping, making it the most time-consuming activity of the day.
Time devoted to sleep averaged 8 hours and 41 minutes on weekdays, stretching to nine hours and 28 minutes over the weekend.
