Career Dedication Affects Sleep Patterns

Career Oriented People Sleep Less

As far as sleeping soundly and as prescribed is concerned, a Canadian study revealed that high earners tend to sleep less than the average take-home pay worker obviously due to the fact that they spend more time of dedicating their time to work rather than going home and recharging after a day.

This is really something elementary. We all know the level of dedication that some people put towards their work and some have set aside sleep to make sure that they achieve what they want as far as career and profession is concerned. These are career-oriented people who could care less about their health at the prime of their lives but while it may be a great reprieve for the meantime, consideration towards overall health in the long run will surely take its toll.

A new study has found women get more sleep than men, but they also have a tougher time getting to sleep and staying asleep.

The Statistics Canada study also found Canadians earning $60,000 or more a year slept 40 minutes less on any given day in 2005 than someone who made $20,000.

It says high-income Canadians tend to dedicate more time to their paid work, spend less time with their children and less time engaged in leisure activities — so their lifestyle affects their sleep patterns.
