One thing that humans do more than anything in their entire life is sleep. Most Americans sleep more than 6-8 hours a day, which is on average around 24 years of ones life!

that makes sense seeing as though you sleep for approx. 8 hours every night (recommended), that's 1/3 of a day, so if you live for 90 years you've spelt for about 30 yrs (DAMN US LAZY HUMANS!!)
