Ikea has revealed that it knows way too much about us.

The Swedish furniture and random stuff company did a survey of people in eight cities around the world, one of which was New York.

Here are just some quick tidbits to get you to click on the link:

  • 56 percent of New Yorkers don’t see themselves as morning people.
  • Men spend an average of 12 minutes on grooming in the mornings. It’s 19 minutes for women.
  • And this one to leave you with: One in six New Yorkers say they take work into the bathroom with them.

Here’s the link.
