Question

The French spend more time sleeping and eating than anyone else among the world's rich people, according to a survey.

The average French person sleeps almost nine hours every night, more than an hour longer than the average Japanese and Korean, who sleep the least in a survey.

And while more and more French people have meals at fast food restaurants, they still spend more than two hours a day eating.

That means their meals are twice as long as those of the average Mexican, who spends just over an hour a day on food.

The Japanese spend close to two hours a day eating and drinking, placing them third behind New Zealanders. The Japanese like to spend their free time watching television or listening to the radio. This takes up 47 percent of free time in Japan.

Turks, on the other hand, spend more than a third of their free time staying with their friends.The survey showed that the difference between work and free time within certain countries is clear.

As for Italians, men have nearly 80 minutes a day of free time more than women. Much of the additional work time of Italian women is clearly cleaning the house.
