WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The average American spent 8.6 hours a day sleeping last year, only 3.7 hours working and had 5.1 leisure hours -- half of which was spent watching television, a survey showed on Tuesday.

The average American had 5.1 hours a day for leisure, half of which was spent watching television, the survey found. The typical person also spent 41 minutes socializing, 22 minutes reading, 20 minutes on sports or recreation, 20 minutes relaxing and thinking, 17 minutes playing games, often on the computer, and 31 minutes on other leisure activities.

Pretty interesting article! :-k
