The Allotted Span
13 YEARS SPENT IN TALK. The average person who lives to 70 spends 23 years of his life asleep. That is the estimate of a scientific committee set up at Nice to inquire how people occupy their lives (states the London Sunday Express). Apart from sleep the committee’s report states that the average person talks for 13 years, cats for six years, spends 23 years in pleasure, and washes for 18 months.
