French people sleep, eat more than anyone else.

The French know how to live. Too bad their language sounds like a sinus infection. From News.com.au:
A study of 18 of the 30 OECD member nations ranks Australia equal fourth with New Zealand and Turkey in the sleep stakes, behind the French, who snooze nine hours a day and eat for two, clearly outdistancing the siesta-loving Spaniards.

Australians ranked 11th in the food stakes, noshing for 90 minutes a day, nearly an hour more than Mexicans but behind our Kiwi neighbours, the Herald Sun reports.

The Japanese, who generally have longer commutes and working hours than most developed nations, still manage nearly two hours for food.

Norwegians have the most overall leisure time, just over a quarter of their day, but Mexicans spend only 16 per cent of their day having fun.
