Your Job May Affect How Well You Sleep

People with highly sedentary jobs — accounting for 80% of the current US workforce — face a significantly higher risk of insomnia.  The amount of technology used at work, levels of physical activity and work schedules were the three areas that a new study concentrated on.   Those working overnight hours were 66% more likely to fall into the catch-up sleeper category because of their evening shifts.  White-collar employees were more frequently categorized into the good sleeper or insomnia sleeper groups, whereas blue-collar workers were more likely to be catch-up sleepers because of their demanding shift schedules.  Experts say do the following to get enough sleep each night:  maintain a consistent sleep schedule, turn off the computer or phone and put your phone charger in another room.
