A recent study analyzing data from over two million adults in the US found that the average bedtime for Generation Z and Millennials has been shifting earlier. The average bedtime moved from 10:18 PM in January 2023 to 10:06 PM in January 2026 for those aged 18–34. Particularly among Generation Z (those born between 1997 and 2012), there appears to be a growing trend toward going to bed earlier, with many reporting they are already in bed by 9 PM or earlier.
