Results of Feeling Good Survey
Summary
FEELING GOOD SURVEY RESULTS. SPANISH STUDENTS.
How many times do we eat in a day?
Spanish students clearly tend to eat 4 or 5 times per day (more than 70%) being ‘almuerzo’ and ‘merienda’ deeply rooted concepts from our gastronomic culture, this is, snacks or small meals in between bigger meals to be had at some point in the middle of the morning and the afternoon. Mediterranean eating habits actually encourage eating every 3 or 4 hours, which has been proved to be really healthy and helps maintaining regular levels of energy throughout the whole day.
At what times do we eat?
As it happens to any student, Spanish ones eat pretty much according to their school timetable and afternoon scheduling. Since school starts at 8:30 am, most of them usually have breakfast around 7:30. Morning snack always comes with recess at 11:15 am and since lessons end at 14:30, students eat as soon as they arrive home by 15:00. The afternoon and evening meals are arranged more freely depending on how each student spends that time but most of them have a snack in between 17:00 and 18:00 and finally have dinner at some point in between 20:30 the earliest and 22:00 the latest.
What are our 5 most usual foods at home?
As expected from a Mediterranean country, Spanish students tend to eat from a wide variety including mostly: salad, rice, lentils, meat (mostly chicken) and fish, thus perfectly encapsulating the most notorious nutritional groups. Not far behind these however, is other foodstuff like all kinds of pasta, milk, potatoes and of course, pastry. Spanish usual diet is very balanced indeed although many of us tend to abuse hypercaloric meals and snacks nowadays.
What is our favourite food?
No wonder, our clear winner here is actually Italian food being pasta and pizza the meals we enjoy the most.
How many hours do we exercise in a week and what are our favourite sports?
Thank god P.E is a mandatory subject because most of Spanish students tend to exercise just in between 2 and 5 hours per week. That said many students spend recess practicing some sport such as football, basketball or volleyball as these are the most common sport hobbies and sport extracurricular activities are still one of the most usual options. After all, it is no secret how much Spanish people enjoy sport competitions, especially football, being some Spanish teams worldwide famous.
How many hours do we sleep at night and at what time do we go to bed?
Well, fortunately more than half of Spanish students have their good 8 to 9 hours of sleep a day, which has been proved to be the greatest sleeping span for teenagers, and there is another great 30% getting a decent amount below that standard, in between 6 and 7 hours. Nevertheless there is also a worrying 10% of students who are sleep deprived, only getting around 5 hours per day. One of the reasons adding to this problem may be that the vast majority of Spanish people go to bed after 22:00 pm, some way later than that, stretching our day as much as possible but with the obvious disadvantages that come along.
How many hours do we use our phones a day?
Unfortunately, Spanish students clearly abuse their mobile phones as around 40% of them can devote from 3 to 5 hours per day on average to activities that involve its use. Worryingly enough there is a further and shocking 31% that admittedly spend more than 6 hours using it, while just a smaller 25% seems to be using it responsibly.
What kind of relationship do we have with our parents?
Outstanding! Almost all Spanish students claim their relationship with their parents to be very good. Despite schooling and other activities, Spanish teenagers usually spend a lot of time with their families and get along very well.
So, how do we usually feel?
In the light of these results, most of Spanish students normally feel great and happy with their current lives. Family and friends are more often than not the main reasons for it and we tend to easily leave behind superficial and fleeting nuisances such as hunger, boredom or tiredness. After all, we are very fortunate to enjoy such a great gastronomic culture as the Mediterranean one, which means we eat healthy. We also have our fair share of overindulgence though, as we clearly seem to exercise little, spend way too much time using the phone for trivial matters and go to bed quite late, so our reputation as outgoing and revelling people might be justified after all!
