Hundreds Run in Pajamas for ‘We RunzZz With Galaxy Watch8’ Event in Istanbul
Türkiye on September 25, 2025
Samsung Electronics Türkiye and the Easy Run running club recently hosted “We RunzZz with Galaxy Watch8” in Caddebostan, Istanbul. The night run invited hundreds of young people to run in their pajamas to promote the importance of sleep.
Beginning at 9:00 p.m., the event also featured various experience zones where attendees had the chance to win surprise gifts and a Galaxy Watch8. As the newest entries to the Galaxy Watch lineup, Galaxy Watch8 and Galaxy Watch8 Classic drew attention with their AI-powered features that adapt to, and enhance, an active lifestyle.
Sleep directly affects physical and mental health, social relationships, and even work performance. Seeking deeper insight into global sleep habits, Samsung carried out one of the largest sleep efficiency studies to date in 2023. It analyzed 716 million nights of sleep behavior from Samsung Health users worldwide and found that although personal interest in sleep health is growing rapidly, the quality of people’s nightly sleep is actually declining. According to Samsung’s research, the average sleep duration worldwide has fallen from 7 hours 3 minutes to 6 hours 59 minutes — dropping below the 7 hours recommended by the National Sleep Foundation.
Quality sleep is also indispensable for consistent exercise, especially for a good running workout. Recognizing its importance, Samsung continues to advance its tools and technologies for better rest — from analyzing sleep patterns to optimizing sleep environments. Building on this, the new Galaxy Watch8 series includes features like Bedtime Guidance and Running Coach, offering users personalized guidance for sleep quality and fitness planning.
Bedtime Guidance, in particular, measures users’ circadian rhythms to recommend the optimal time to go to bed, helping them wake up refreshed and start the day energized. By providing insights on lifestyle factors such as sleep, stress and activity levels, the feature supports a more comprehensive approach to health management.
