Sleep? No, I’m still logged on: Quarter of us spend more time online than in bed
|The internet reaches into so many areas of our lives that one in four people now spend longer online than they do asleep, a survey has revealed.
With huge quantities of waking hours spent plugged into PCs, laptops and smartphones, more than half – 51 per cent – admit to suffering from ‘e-anxiety’ if they are unable to check their emails or Facebook page. Men spend bigger chunks of their time online. More than one in four spend six hours or more a day online, compared to one in five women.
