Singapore is ranked the most fatigued country in the world by manufacturing firm Sleepseeker, reporting a fatigue score of 7.20, followed by Mexico and Brazil.  This "fatigue score" was concluded with statistics reporting:

  1. Hours of sleep: Despite the increase from an average of 6.4 hours of sleep per night in 2019 to 6.9 in 2022, Singapore is the third most sleep-deprived city, after Tokyo and Seoul. 
  2. Average hours worked: Of the countries that worked the most per year, Singapore came in second, clocking in 2,238 hours per year.
  3. Time spent online: Singaporeans spend 7 hours and 2 minutes on the internet everyday. This is almost twice of Japan's residents who average 3 hours and 45 minutes per day.
