70% of British adults believe they don't get enough sleep

A new survey has found that nearly three quarters of us believe we need more sleep as a significant number of Britons aren't getting the recommended eight hours a night.

Lancashire, United Kingdom (prHWY.com) November 23, 2011 - A new survey recently commissioned by IKEA has found that nearly three quarters of us believe we need more sleep as a significant number of Britons aren't getting the recommended eight hours a night.

3,000 adults were questioned for the survey and the reasons behind disturbed sleep were revealed, with more than 50% of those questioned saying that they blamed a poor mattress for their sleeping problems.

Other reasons for staying awake include worrying about work or their finances (57% of respondents), their partner snoring (54%) and their other half hogging too much of the duvet (34%).

The survey also revealed some other interesting points about sleep. 26% of people who can't sleep listen to soothing music to try and nod off again, 10% check their work emails and 6% wake up their partner. One in ten British adults also admitted sleeping with a teddy bear!

With a bad mattress being the primary cause of many people's sleep problems, it is important to ensure that when you're looking to invest in a new bed you spend enough time comparing the different types available to make sure you get the mattress best suited to your requirements. 72% of Britons spend just 10 minutes choosing a mattress and a third spend less than 5 minutes, whereas the average mattress is kept for 8 - 10 years.
