Recent data indicates that London residents average roughly six hours of sleep per night, navigating the physical toll of long commutes and urban noise. Sleep experts consistently highlight that poor sleep quality contributes to broader health challenges, including reduced cognitive function, weakened immunity, and heightened stress levels, issues particularly acute in fast-paced cities.
