When do MIT students sleep? (HMS)
Respondents were asked what time they typically go to sleep and wake up on weekdays. Based on these responses, more than half (54%) of MIT respondents allow themselves the chance to get 8+ hours of sleep; another 29% allow themselves to get 7 hours of sleep. The Healthy Minds Study conducted in 2013–14 found that national respondents, on average, slept 7.4 hours.
