In France it seems free time is spent mostly sleeping and eating. That's according to a survey from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Since they are based in Paris they ought to know. It seems the French sleep an average of 9 hours a day, lucky them and eat and drink for at least 2 hours, lucky again. Compare that to the U.S. where the average American catches ease for about eight and a half hours, that's still more than I can get, that I get on my early shift, and eat for just over an hour a day. They're eating too fast that my mother would never approve. In Asia however Koreans and Japanese people sleep under 8 hours a day with a large part of their leisure time reserved for TV.
