Blinks in a Lifetime
Blinks per Day = Blink Rate (per min) × 60 min × Waking Hours
The average person blinks 15–20 times per minute while awake. With 16 waking hours per day, that is about 14,400 blinks daily.
Over a 79-year life, the total exceeds 400 million blinks.
Each blink lasts about 150–400 milliseconds — so you spend nearly 10 full days of your life just blinking.
