Across Southeast Asia and Oceania (SEAO), sleep is emerging as a critical—yet often overlooked—pillar of health and well-being frequently sacrificed in favor of the demands of modern lifestyles today.
Casting a lens on this reality, the Samsung SEAO Ecosystem Health Study sought to analyse the general lifestyle and sentiments towards health and fitness, as well as general wellness habits—including sleep, fitness, and lifestyle choices.
While adults in Southeast Asia and Oceania rank health as their third highest daily priority, trailing finances and family according to the study, many still struggle to achieve the recommended seven to nine hours of sleep.
An average person in SEAO sleeps for just 6 hours and 51 minutes every night and stand to miss out on benefits that they rank as important reasons to getting sufficient shut-eye – such as improved immunity (21%), maintaining good health (17%), and staying mentally agile (16%).
Want to sleep better and feel these benefits? Here are three practical steps to address common sleep concerns using Galaxy devices like the Galaxy Watch8 series and Galaxy Ring.
Establishing a consistent bedtime routine is the primary concern for consumers in Southeast Asia and Oceania (28%) citing an “inability to switch off” as a further obstacle to a good night’s rest.
We all know that going device-free is easier said than done, with many relying on smartphones as their alarm. Enter the Galaxy Watch8 series and Galaxy Ring, super comfortable sleep companions that even allow you to dismiss alarms by just pinching your fingers!
Beyond putting aside one’s smartphone for the evening, winding down also includes setting up a peaceful environment that is conducive for sleep. Custom routines on the SmartThings app cue your connected devices automatically, turning off your lights and TV at bedtime for instance.
