How Good Do You Really Sleep? Insights from Omnipemf’s Global Survey

At Omnipemf, we set out to answer a simple but important question: How well are people actually sleeping? Sleep is one of the most critical pillars of health, yet it’s often overlooked in modern lifestyles filled with stress, screens, and irregular routines.

To better understand real-world sleep habits, we conducted a survey focused on nighttime routines and sleep hygiene. Over 1,000 participants shared their experiences and the results reveal a concerning picture of widespread sleep struggles.

A Sleep Crisis Hiding in Plain Sight

The most striking finding from our survey is the overall perception of sleep quality. A significant majority—69.32% of respondents—rated their sleep as poor. Only 4.18% reported good sleep quality, while 17.02% described it as average.

This means that nearly 7 out of 10 people are consistently dissatisfied with their sleep—a statistic that points to a broader issue affecting daily energy, productivity, and long-term health.

Falling Asleep: A Struggle for Many

Falling asleep quickly is often seen as a sign of healthy sleep—but for most respondents, it’s far from reality.

  • 38.74% take more than an hour to fall asleep
  • 26.91% need between 30–60 minutes
  • Only 11.11% fall asleep within 15 minutes

These numbers suggest that for the majority, bedtime is not a smooth transition into rest, but rather a prolonged period of wakefulness—often linked to overstimulation, stress, or poor sleep habits.

Interrupted Nights: The Norm, Not the Exception

Staying asleep appears to be just as challenging as falling asleep.

  • Over 60% of respondents wake up at least three times per night
  • Only 4.28% report rarely or never waking

Frequent awakenings disrupt the body’s natural sleep cycles, preventing deep, restorative rest. Even if total sleep time seems sufficient, fragmented sleep can leave individuals feeling fatigued and unrefreshed.

What’s Keeping People Awake?

When asked about their biggest sleep challenges, respondents highlighted a mix of physical and mental barriers:

  • Staying asleep (24.01%) and falling asleep (21.68%) top the list
  • Mental factors like stress (14.87%) and racing thoughts (13.96%) are also major contributors
  • Physical discomfort (11.62%) and waking up too early (10.30%) follow closely

These findings reinforce a key idea: sleep issues are rarely caused by a single factor—they’re often the result of both physiological and psychological imbalance.

Nighttime Habits: Screens Dominate

One of the most revealing sections of the survey focused on nighttime routines—and the results highlight a key modern challenge.

  • 35.63% of respondents use their phone or screens before bed
  • 14.98% report having no routine at all
  • Only 10.51% practice calming activities like meditation or breathing

Screen exposure before bedtime is known to interfere with the body’s natural sleep signals, making it harder to fall asleep and reducing sleep quality. The data suggests that many people may unknowingly be working against their own biology.

Are People Trying to Improve Their Sleep?

Interestingly, a significant portion of respondents haven’t yet taken steps to improve their sleep:

  • 34.66% have not tried any sleep improvement strategies

Among those who have:

  • 30.99% use supplements
  • 25.08% focus on lifestyle changes
  • 9.17% turn to technology-based solutions

This highlights both a gap in awareness and an opportunity—many people are struggling, but not yet actively seeking solutions.

Where PEMF Therapy Fits In

With so many people struggling to fall asleep, stay asleep, or manage stress at night, it’s clear that better tools are needed—especially ones that go beyond traditional approaches.

This is where Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy can play a role.

PEMF works by delivering low-frequency electromagnetic signals that interact with the body’s natural processes. When used as part of a nighttime routine, it can help the body shift into a more relaxed, sleep-ready state. Research and user data suggest several potential benefits:

  • It may reduce the time it takes to fall asleep and minimize nighttime awakenings
  • It can support natural melatonin production, a key hormone for sleep regulation
  • It helps calm the nervous system and reduce stress, one of the biggest sleep disruptors
  • By mimicking natural brainwave frequencies (like theta and delta), it may help guide the brain into deeper sleep states

Unlike medication-based solutions, PEMF is non-invasive and designed to work with your body’s natural rhythms, making it a compelling option for those looking to improve sleep more holistically.

Small Changes, Big Impact

The survey makes one thing clear: better sleep doesn’t come from a single fix. It’s the result of consistent habits, a supportive environment, and the right tools.

Improving sleep may include:

  • Reducing screen time before bed
  • Creating a consistent nighttime routine
  • Managing stress and mental load
  • Exploring supportive technologies like PEMF

Final Thoughts

Sleep is not a luxury – it’s a necessity. Yet for many, it remains elusive.

This survey serves as a wake-up call: if most people are struggling with sleep, it’s time to rethink how we approach our nights. With the right awareness, habits, and tools, better sleep is not only possible – it’s within reach.
