how much sleep do you get?
This article on KETV.com caught my eye this morning. Maybe because I only got 5 hours of sleep last night.
Survey Says One-Third Of Workers Sleepy
Workdays Growing Longer, More Time Spent Working From Home
POSTED: 6:35 am CST March 3, 2008
NEW YORK — Dragging at work because of a lack of sleep? Join the club. A National Sleep Foundation survey of 1,000 people found participants average six hours and 40 minutes of sleep a night on weeknights, even though people estimated they’d need about 40 more minutes of sleep to be at their best. *About one-third said they’ve had fallen asleep or become very sleepy at work in the past month. Last week, the chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission acknowledged it should have done more to investigate a tip that security guards routinely took naps while on the job at a Pennsylvania nuclear plant. Why so tired? The survey finds workdays are getting longer and time spent working from home averages close to four-and-a-half hours each week. People are trying to squeeze in more family time, too. The average wakeup time is 5:35 a.m. Average bedtime is 10:53 p.m.
*I’m always sleepy at work, and a couple of weeks ago, I think I fell asleep for five minutes at my desk.
My problem is that I’m a night owl. Why? I have no idea. I just hate going to bed early.
So how much sleep do you think you average during the week, and what time you do go to bed?
Oh did your post strike close to home…..
I wake up at 3:30. And I’ve usually only gone to bed around 10:30 or 11:00. Sad sad sad days.
On a lighter note, how are things with you?
