Residents of Latvia sleep an average of 8h 29m per day, ranking #16 among 62 countries tracked in the Global Sleep Atlas. This is 35 minutes more than the global average of 7h 54m.
OECD diary surveys report 50 minutes more sleep than app-based tracking for Latvia. This reflects methodological differences: diary surveys measure “time allocated to sleep,” while apps measure detected sleep states.
Different measurement methods produce different results. OECD time-use diaries capture “time in bed,” while app and wearable sources measure detected sleep states.
