Sedentary jobs increase your risk of insomnia with symptoms lasting up to 10 years, new study says

"The way we are designing work poses serious, long-term threats to healthy sleep," says Claire Smith, psychologist at the University of South Florida who led the team of researchers.

The research identified three types of employees based on their sleep health levels: good sleepers, catch-up sleepers, and insomnia-like sleepers, all linked to sedentary work.

Employees with sedentary jobs experience a 37% increase in insomnia symptoms, illustrating the detrimental effects of desk-bound work on sleep health.

Approximately 90% of insomnia-like sleepers reported that their symptoms persisted even 10 years later, emphasizing the long-term impact of work-related sleep issues.
