British people spend more time playing games than having sex, according to a national survey on bedtime habits by The Mirror.

"More time is spent by Brits playing video games in bed than having sex," states the report, which revealed that only 35 minutes per week is spent performing the romantic act.

Sleep came top of the survey, while watching television and surfing the internet also came high on the list.

But gaming was named the ninth most popular bedtime entertainment, beating sex by a full 22 minutes per week.

1. Sleep (3,150)
