报告显示，只有46.4%的学生睡眠时长在8小时及以上，而2009年这一比例为47.4%。
According to an action plan laying out measures to be taken from 2019 to 2030 to promote the health of citizens, primary school students are recommended to get a minimum of 10 hours' sleep a night. Nine hours is recommended for junior high school students and 8 hours for senior high school students.
