Lengthening Workweeks Robbing Americans of Sleep

Posted By Dr. Mercola | March 05 2008 | 1,623 views

A survey of 1,000 people found participants average six hours and 40 minutes of sleep a night on weeknights. Roughly one-third of those surveyed said they had fallen asleep or become very sleepy at work.

While sleepy workers know they're not performing well, work is what's keeping them up at night. Workdays are getting longer and time spent working from home averages close to four-and-a-half hours each week.

The average waking time is 5:35 AM, and the average bedtime is 10:53 PM.
