One in three British workers suffers from poor sleep,
research shows, with stress, computers and taking work home blamed for the lack
of quality slumber.
"British employers should be very worried about these
findings," said Dr Tony Massey, medical director of Vielife, the health
and productivity firm that carried out the assessments between 2009 and 2011.
"Organisations that have employees that sleep better perform better in the
marketplace. Staff who sleep badly say they don't feel good, can nod off at
their desk, have trouble concentrating, and are more prone to viruses and
infections."
"These are very worrying findings because lack of sleep
is a risk factor for a whole range of serious health problems, such as stroke
and heart disease," said Massey.
