Life starts when we come out from the womb and start breathing. According to the statistics a normal healthy human lives for 78 years and 2 months on average. We spend our life doing in different activities of life including studying, sleeping, watching TV. But have you ever wondered how much time we spend on each activity in our life. It is pretty surprising if we sum up our each day to day activity and calculate how much of our precious life is spend on each and every thing.
I have put together a list of our daily activities and explained below how much time of our life we spend on each thing.
Sleeping:
Sleeping is must for our body and brain to stay healthy and function properly and on average a human spends 8 hours in a day sleeping. Which means we spend 1/3 of our life while sleeping as a day is total of 24 hours. Deducting that time from our 78years and 2 months life. We are left with 49 years and 11 months.
