Is Your Job Keeping You Up At Night

From Consumer Reports Health.org Alert: "Is your job keeping you up at night? Working long hours hinders sleep more than any other lifestyle factor, according to findings by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania.

The researchers analyzed data from nearly 50,000 people about their daily activities and sleep routines. While everything from socializing to long commutes compromised sleep time, the people who slept the least were those who spent the most time on their jobs.

People with the shortest work weeks slept the most. Poor sleep has been linked to a number of health woes, including obesity, so shut off the laptop and get your Zs."
