Study links sedentary jobs to higher insomnia risk, affecting workers tracked over a decade.

A new study links sedentary jobs to a 37% higher risk of insomnia symptoms, affecting over 1,000 workers tracked for a decade. Factors such as technology use, physical activity, and work schedules impact sleep health. The study identified three sleep categories: good sleepers, insomnia sleepers, and catch-up sleepers. Workers on nontraditional schedules, especially night shifts, were 66% more likely to need catch-up sleep. The research suggests that incorporating more physical activity and setting boundaries on work hours can help improve sleep quality.
