The movement and sleep patterns of a city tell an amazing story about its culture and people. How active is a city? When do they go to bed on average, and how much do they sleep? How stark are the differences between weekends and weekdays? What events brought people together and significantly impacted the health of a city? Each pattern forms a distinct “thumbprint” for the city, the unique way its citizens live their lives. To an untrained eye, these images may just look like the abstract brush strokes of a Rothko painting. To a data scientist, however, these graphics richly detail the routines — and occasional abnormalities — of city denizens. Some quick stats:
Least Sleep: Tokyo, Japan – 5hr 44min
Most Sleep: Melbourne, Australia – 6hr 58min
Earliest to Bed: Brisbane, Australia – 10:57pm
Latest to Bed: Moscow, Russia – 12:46am
Earliest to Rise: Brisbane, Australia – 6:29am
Latest to Rise: Moscow, Russia – 8:08am
Most Steps: Stockholm, Sweden – 8,876 steps
Least Steps: Sao Paulo, Brazil – 6,254 steps

Londons quite unhealthy in the sense I average about 4 hours a night sleep, which is mainly due to my social life but also the normal day to day stresses that come with living in a major international city!

How did Australian cities make it there? What about the more populated places like North America, China, UK, etc...
There is a select menu on the right side of the page, where you can choose your favorite cities from Atlanta to Washington DC in USA or from Beijing to Hong Kong in China etc.
