Well... an average adult sleeps an average of 8 hours per night, multiply that by 365 days and you get 2920 hours a year. A child would be an aver age of 10 hours per night, and therefore, 3650 hours a year!

The average person spends approximately 33% of their life asleep. So if a person lived to be 90 years old, then they would have been asleep for 30 years. So the number of years depends on how old you are. A 9 year old would have slept for 3 years.

Sleep duration varies by age, and by individual. Older adults are likely to require more sleep than the 7 to 8 hours recommended, as do younger individuals (14 to 17 hours for infants, down to 8 to 9 hours for teenagers).

Getting the optimum sleep in an average year (365 days) would total 2555 to 2920 hours. In one study, one-third of healthy adults got less sleep, and one-fifth of healthy adults got more sleep.
