People don't blink when they're asleep. In a 24 hour day, most(?) people sleep for eight hours, so 15,360 would be a lot closer for an entire day. Also, anyone who uses a computer blinks a lot less than normal.
Plus, some people don't blink their eyes enough when using iPads or other tablets, which can make eyes dry and irritated. To reduce the risk, users should take a short break every 20 to 30 minutes and try to look away at a distant object for a few seconds. Also, avoid prolonged work on a tablet.
