A new study has found that job satisfaction affects the quality of your sleep – 33 per cent of the most dissatisfied employees report poor sleep quality compared to only 18 per cent of the most satisfied.
The study also revealed that employed and self-employed enjoy much better sleep than those out of work. Those who are unemployed are over 40 per cent more likely to report difficulty staying asleep than those in employment.
Analysis of the early data from Understanding Society based on 14,000 UK households found that overall the best sleep was reported by people with higher levels of education and by married people.
The type of work a person does also impacts on sleep, with those in routine occupations reporting worse sleep than those in professional occupations.
Sara Arber at the University of Surrey who analysed the findings said: "Given the links between sleep, social and economic circumstances and poor health found in this and other surveys, health promotion campaigns should be open to the possibility that the increased incidence of sleep problems among the disadvantaged in society may be one factor leading to their poorer health."
