The average Belarusian spends 28 years of their life sleeping and 11 years at work. Belstat summarized the results of a large-scale survey on the population's daily time use. 11.500 people completed two diaries over the course of a year. They recorded in detail everything they did on weekdays and weekends: how much they exercised, read, or walked the dog. An interesting fact: a Belarusian has almost 13.5 years of free time in their lifetime, just over 6 of which are spent watching television. We spend about 4 years eating, and 2.5 years preparing food.
