This site takes into account that Americans get there 8 hours of sleep though some quick googling revealed that the average American only gets 7 hours and 13 minutes of sleep. Just want to preach to those not getting there 8 hours, getting enough sleep really gives an enormous boost to mood, creativity, productivity and health. Give it a try :-)

Their 8 hours...

I recently started sleeping more and the changes in my life have been unbelievable I am - procrastinating less - having less headaches - coming up with more creative solutions at work - being more attentive and present in social interactions - ACTUALLY FEELING HAPPY AGAIN I don't know how much of this is placebo, but ever since the corona lockdown started here in Germany, my sleep has been completely messed up.

I've found that no matter how much I sleep it doesn't affect what people usually report. Last night I was lucky if I had 5 and with 8h+ I feel the same, I do the same.

Sleeping 7 hours instead of 8 gives you ~30 extra waking hours a month. I always get caught up on that, for better or worse.

Meanwhile Americans have no equivalent website for 'Are Europeans asleep yet?" Because they don't care.

Scheduling meetings with Americans tend to get a little worse than expected, because they apparently think 9 - 17:00 is when you should be working, and not 8 - 16:00. So rather than having an afternoon meeting, you get to have a late afternoon meeting.

I think I can find more people in Denmark working 7 - 15:00 compared to 9 - 17:00.
