How Ukrainians Spend Their Time

My latest research revealed that my relatives and friends spend most of their time sleeping. Working or studying and using the computer take up more than a half the day.

On average, I may say that they spend nearly 40 hours per week sleeping. Of course, not surprisingly that adults and pensioners sleep more than young people. By midnight 95 % of adults are asleep, while 5% are enjoying some free time. In opposite, only 10% of teenagers are asleep by midnight. The vast majority of young people 65 % study or surf the Internet at this time.

During the week 95 % of adults and teenager are up by 8 am. At the weekend, people get up later (seventy percent after 8:30) and go to bed later (85 % are in bed by 2 am). Sixty percent work or study at least 7 hours, sometimes even more, it depends on their timetable. So they are busy until at least 4 pm and then have meals, do housework and homework. Almost half of them spend nearly 5-6 hours using the computer for their study or work.  Only 20 % do some form of leisure activity (watching TV or reading for pleasure).

 As for the time for having meal people generally have breakfast between 7 and 8 am, have dinner between 2 pm and 4, and have supper at 8 pm. All of them prefer home-cooked food to ready meals. Almost all these families eat together at least once per day or even more.

T he research was revealed a difference between adults and young people. Adults spend 6-7 hours per week alone compared with teenagers, who spend 10-12 hours per week socializing and hanging out with their friends.
