Unemployment Increasing Cases of Less Sleep
Psychological or not, it doesn’t take a study to affirm that people without a job are finding less reason so sleep well. In fact, some may not even be sleeping at all. Can you imagine trying to survive in this competitive world without any means of income?
A recent study by Hyland’s Inc. found that the parts of the United States with the highest unemployment rates wish for more sleep than the rest of the nation.
The survey also reported 18 percent of respondents from the West and 20 percent from the Midwest claimed to wake up during the night and have trouble falling back to sleep, the highest percentage of this pattern. The survey found that all over the United States, the economy was the leading cause of stress.
This was to be expected. With no work, people often wonder what they could do to survive and perhaps feed their family. On the other hand, some may not be able to sleep well as they hope for the best to once again find themselves employed.

Does anyone else have any experience with this?

It’s totally the opposite for me. I sleep too MUCH. With no set time to get up anymore, I tend to go to bed without setting the alarm clock and wake up “whenever” and sometimes even take naps throughout the day.
