If you're having trouble sleeping right now, it might be your job's fault. A new British study carried out by the company Hillary's has revealed that certain professions are a little more harmful than others to our sleep.
To carry out this survey, nearly 5,000 people were asked about their time and the quality of their sleep. And the result is maddening since only 11% of respondents find that they get enough rest in the evening. As for the rest (89%!), they are unfortunately aware that they are sorely lacking in sleep... 44% of participants believe that stress and the caffeine ingested on a daily basis are the main causes of this lack of sleep. sleep.
Thus, in the top 3 of the most exhausting professions, we find in first position – without great surprise – professionals in the health field:doctors, nurses, anesthetists… These have an average night of 4 hours and 15 minutes, which is extremely little compared to the generally recommended 8 hour night. Peacekeepers and teachers follow them closely with an average night of 4.5 hours. Finally, journalists and receptionists complete this list with a sleep time of around 5 hours per night... But Hillary's study does not stop there since it also lists the professions that can allow you to rest, as you wish. So, if you want to sleep like a baby at night, we advise you to reorient yourself for the job of hairdresser or beautician! These have an average night of 9 hours and 40 minutes… The dream. Telemarketers are not really to be pitied either since they would benefit from a daily sleep time of about 8 hours. We bet that you are starting to seriously consider a career change...
