Samsung Study Sheds Light on Sleep Habits Around the World
In terms of their health, an increasing number of people these days place a higher value on sleep. New trends on the Samsung Health app show how much people are becoming interested in sleep. Those who actively observed their sleep at least once a week for a year saw an 182% increase in users in the last two years. Still unanswered is: Did we get enough sleep? By examining the sleep patterns of 716 million Samsung Health customers globally, Samsung set out to address this question by performing one of the largest single studies on sleep health ever carried out. The average length of time spent sleeping has decreased intentionally from 7 hours and 3 minutes to 6 hours and 59 minutes, which is less than the critical 7-hour mark that the National Sleep Foundation recommends.
A worrying development is the rise in awake time during sleep, which results in a fall in sleep efficiency. Sleep efficiency is a crucial component of quality sleep and is measured by dividing the amount of time spent in bed each night by the amount of time actually spent asleep. No single demographic or geographic area was the focus of this trend.

- While the trend of decreased sleep efficiency among men is still there, women have seen the biggest declines in the last year.
- An increased reduction in sleep efficiency was observed in older demographics. Notably, the reduction was twice as great among people over the age of 70 as it was among people under the age of 20.
- North America saw the biggest decline in sleep efficiency, while Asia continued to have the lowest.
- All regions slept for fewer than seven hours, with the exception of North America and Europe.
How does this thing affect the younger generations?
Poor sleep hygiene has an effect on sleep quality as well. A further factor that exacerbates worldwide Sleep problems are caused by sleep debt, a metric of sleep irregularity that compares the quantity of sleep gained on weekends to that gained during the week. Teenagers had almost twice as much sleep debt as older adults, indicating that young people have the biggest sleep debt. By geography, the least amount of sleep debt is 41 minutes, found in Asia, while 47 minutes are in Latin America. Everywhere in the world, individuals sleep an additional 44 minutes on weekends.

Sleepers vs. sleep animals:
- Samsung aimed to investigate and classify different kinds of sleepers into sleep animals in order to obtain a better understanding of the common sleep patterns around the world.
- It’s interesting to see that a third of participants, or nervous penguins, had a sleep pattern that most people globally could relate to.
- Their circadian rhythms remain in good health, but they often have disruptions when they have sleep, which lowers the effectiveness of their sleep. More cautious deer or people with shorter sleep durations and longer wake hours were observed by older users.
- Nine times as many people in their 20s as in their 70s had “Cautious Deer” as their sleep animal. With increasing age in the age group, the animal’s ratio consistently decreased.
- In comparison to previous age groups, those in their 20s show “sun-averse moles” in addition to a higher representation of “sensitive hedgehogs”.
- As the age group shrank, so did the number of people falling into these categories who struggled with regular sleep.
- For enhancing the quality of sleep, a range of sleep coaching programs are available in addition to sleep animals. The fervent conviction is that improving sleep quality can be achieved by implementing minor, everyday routine adjustments.
- In order to assess the efficacy of sleep coaching, Samsung examined the number of users who advanced to a higher level of sleep animal with coaching.
Delivering quality sleep:
- An increase in sleep coaching participation was associated with improved sleep quality for some users. With two months of instruction as opposed to one month, every animal improved more.
- Within two months of receiving sleep coaching, 94% of “exhausted sharks”, the lowest category of sleep animals, described people who are obviously sleep deprived but still unable to get good sleep.
- Small things can lead to better health and good sleep. By gaining a deep comprehension of their individual sleep habits and receiving tailored motivation and coaching, users of the Galaxy Watch 6 series and Samsung Health can attain good sleep.
Samsung debuted the ‘Circle to Search by Google’ feature on the Galaxy S24 series as part of the Galaxy AI package. It has been a couple of months since the debut of the ‘Circle to Search’ feature, which is still a hot topic in the tech industry. Now this feature is expected to arrive on Galaxy Book and Galaxy Chromebook laptops and PCs.
Samsung exclusively launched the Circle to Search feature on the Galaxy S24 series, then expanded it to more Galaxy devices, including the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S22, and other phones, along with the One UI 6.1 update. Now Google is setting up to bring it to the Chrome web browser on desktop operating systems; somewhere, this points out the probability that it could come to the Galaxy Book, Galaxy Chromebook laptops, and PCs.
At the moment, Google Chrome for desktop features Google Lens to search for text and images on the screen engine. Google seems to be working on the Circle to Search-like UI for the web browser. This is being speculated by a post on X shared by a tipster (via SamMobile) who mentioned that the new Lens UI in Chrome now has a new animation that appears like a familiar feature, ‘Circle to Search’, given that it is expected that this feature will be in Chrome’s version of “Circle to Search.”
While clicking the Google Lens extension, a Circle to Search-like UI will appear, and then you can click and drag using the mouse pointer to draw around the text or image you want to search on the screen. After circling the content you want to search for on the screen, the selected part will be highlighted in a rounded rectangular shape.
The Korean brand ‘Samsung’ is gearing up to begin the mass production of their next-generation phone chipset using a cutting-edge 3nm manufacturing process.
Samsung, in collaboration with Synopsys, a design automation company, has successfully taped out the high-end mobile SoC. This chipset will be built using a cutting-edge 3nm process with ‘gate-all-around’ (GAA) technology; this is the first time Samsung has used this process for a mobile processor.
Initially, Samsung began GAA-based 3-nm mass production in June 2022 and registered its name as the first giant to use this process in the industry. This will be the brand’s first-time mass-producing mobile APs using the 3-nm GAA process. The mobile AP that was mass-produced is presumed to be the “Exynos 2500.”
We already reported that the Galaxy S25 Ultra is rumored to use the Exynos 2500 chipset. Now again, the new report says that, designed by Samsung’s System LSI division, the Exynos 2500 is expected to power the forthcoming flagship Galaxy S25 smartphone model. It is reported that the Exynos 2500 will be a mass-producer by the end of this year using the second-generation 3-nm process, which is Samsung’s leading-edge technology.
Previously, the Korean giant reintroduced Exynos chipsets to the Galaxy S24 series for the very first time in two years. Samsung’s Galaxy S22 series debuted in 2022 and arrived with the Exynos 2200, but unfortunately experienced low performance and overheating issues. After the failure of the Exynos 2200, the giant subsequent Exynos 2300 project was abruptly canceled, and the entire Galaxy S23 series was equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
Although Samsung introduced its Exynos 2400 and attached it to the newly launched Galaxy S24 base and Plus variants.

Samsung announced its plan in the expansion of its plan to re-imagine mobile device security for business customers in collaboration with IBM.
The Korean brand ‘Samsung’ and IBM are partnering to enhance mobile security for businesses. Samsung Knox data integrated with IBM’s QRadar security system offers security teams a central view of mobile threats across the organization. Security analysts can identify and respond to smartphone threats quickly.
It seems that this new partnership runs more securely and without compromising user privacy. Increasingly, organizations’ IT and security teams are seeking to adopt a zero-trust framework. Samsung Knox offers SOCs with differentiated capabilities to ensure centralized visibility into mobile devices and their vulnerabilities and access to on-device danger detection to alert security observers early in the attack chain.
Typically, security struggles with random data from different gadgets, making danger detection and response difficult. Samsung and IBM are collaborating to merge Samsung Knox with IBM’s QRadar security system, which will surely enhance and add an extra layer of security. Security teams have the power to see threats across all Galaxy devices in one place. This new collaboration will enhance visibility and help organizations prevent security issues before they happen.
The Senior Vice President and General Manager of Mobile B2B, Samsung Electronics America, Brad Haczynski, stated that “Samsung Knox has been consistently recognized as the industry’s leading mobile device security platform* due to our comprehensive approach to protecting devices at the hardware and software levels. Working with IBM, we are excited to extend the power of the platform to SOCs to address the increasingly complex threats organizations are facing today.”
