Meanwhile Americans have no equivalent website for 'Are Europeans asleep yet?" Because they don't care.
It's the same questions. Europeans rise when the American's do so they can be online at the same time.

#32Shouldn’t he have said “awake from 08:00 to 23:59 or 00:00,” instead of “08:00 AM to 12:00 PM?”

#33The website claims Reddit is banned in some European countries. Which countries?
He means Threads, which is not released outside the UK

My phone has that weird habit of going into silent mode in the night.

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.
8+ might be too much for you.
My sweet spot is around ~7 hours. Less than 6.5 and more than 8 makes me feel the same, but if I manage to sleep around 7, it's completely a different story.

#36"8AM to 12 PM" think you mean 12 AM unless you go to bed at lunch :)

The stupid quirks are what make countries charming. AM/PM isn't unique to the US, but it's not like European countries don't have their own types of silliness. Americans are similarly baffled by the lack of air-conditioning in buildings that clearly need it given 40C summers and the fact that restaurants in many countries serve bottled water by default when the tap is perfectly fine.

#37This 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 :-)
Not everyone's that lucky genetically. I go to bed at the same and I can get out of bed whenever I want and yet I can't get 7 hours let alone 8 hours. And no I'm not the type who can be refreshed with less than 6 hours of sleep (those are the genetically lucky ones).

Yeah, I've had the same experience, I will say I'm slightly more productive at work, but am I about to give up an hour or two of rare leisure time every day to be more productive for my employer when my current performance isn't an issue? No thanks.

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.
What good are 30 more hours if they (and the others) are less productive, more irritable, and overall less enjoyable? Why not just sleep 3 hours a night and get 150 more hours every month?
People need different amounts of sleep, and the same person needs different amounts at different times. Just aim to get what you need.

And sleeping 6 instead of 8 you get ~60 hours. Also, imagine how much time you can save by not going to the gym!
