Quote:

"The tally comes from the Labor Department’s annual American Time Use Survey, released Friday [June 24] * * * In 2015, nearly 11,000 people were interviewed

"Americans slept an average of 8 hours and 50 minutes a day in 2015, 13 minutes more than a decade earlier and two minutes more than in 2014.

"Liana Sayer, director of the Time Use Laboratory at the University of Maryland * * * Women spent 2 hours and 14 minutes on household activities last year, while men only spent 1 hour and 26 minutes on the same chores. The amount of time men spend on housework has increased from a decade earlier. But Dr Sayer said that doesn’t show a more equal distribution of domestic responsibilities—rather, it shows more men are living by themselves.

My comment:
(a) Regarding quotation 2 -- as well as the title. I doubt the differences in sleep or work time between a decade earlier and 2015 are significant.
(b) There is no need to read the rest of the text. Do view the graphic, which display, in print, women and men only, absent other demographics.
