OECD diary surveys report 104 minutes more sleep than app-based tracking for Turkey. 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.
