38%), they are more likely than men to report having had trouble sleeping (29% vs. In spite of the fact that women are less likely than men to report having napped in past 24 hours (31% vs. Interestingly, however, the gender patterns related to “having trouble sleeping” are quite different from those related to napping. Among those who said they did not have trouble sleeping (about three-quarters of the sample), just 32% reported having taken a nap. The survey also asked respondents if they had trouble sleeping in the past 24 hours - and, not surprisingly, it finds a correlation between nap-taking and trouble sleeping.Īmong those who reported they’d had trouble sleeping in the past day (about a quarter of the sample), more than four-in-ten (41%) also reported that they’d taken a nap. These findings are based on responses to a question in a wide-ranging survey about aging that asked people if they had engaged in each of 10 different activities in the past 24 hours - among them driving a car, getting some exercise, going shopping, watching television, using the internet, praying and taking a nap. Among every other age group in the survey - including both the young (ages 18 to 29) and the old (ages 70 to 79) - about a third say they napped in the past 24 hours. More than half of adults ages 80 and older say they napped in the past day. Napping spikes among the old - but only among the very old.
However, at the upper end of the scale (adults whose annual income is $100,000 or above) the tendency to nap revives and reverts to the mean. Napping is quite common at the lower end of the income scale some 42% of adults with an annual income below $30,000 report they napped in the past day. Half of the black adults in our survey say they napped in the past 24 hours, compared with just a third of whites and Hispanics. There are distinctive racial patterns to napping. Below the age of 50, men and women are about equally likely to say they napped in the past day (35% vs.
More than four-in-ten ( 41%) men ages 50 and older say they napped in the past day, compared with just 28% of women of the same age. This gender gap occurs almost entirely among older adults.
More men than women report that they caught a little snooze in the past 24 hours - 38% vs. Napping thrives among all demographic groups, but it’s more widespread among some than others, according to a Pew Research Center Social & Demographic Trends survey of a nationally representative sample of 1,488 adults. On a typical day, a third of the adults (34%) in the United States take a nap.
