Sedentary Jobs Linked to Increased Insomnia Risk, Harvard Study Reveals
People in Desk Jobs Are 37% More Likely to Suffer from Insomnia, Finds New Study
A New Study Published In The Journal Of Occupational Health Psychology Has Raised Serious Concerns About The Rising Impact Of Sedentary Lifestyles On Sleep Health. The Study, Backed By Harvard University, Found That People Engaged In Sedentary Jobs — Particularly Those Involving Long Hours Of Sitting With Minimal Physical Movement — Are 37% More Likely To Develop Insomnia Than Those With Active Work Routines.
The Research Compared Sleep Patterns Of Individuals With Physically Active Jobs To Those Who Remain Seated Throughout The Day. It Discovered That Sedentary Workers Are Significantly More Prone To Suffer From A range Of Insomnia Symptoms, Including:
-
Trouble Falling Asleep
-
Disrupted Or Interrupted Sleep
-
Waking Up Tired And Unrested
-
Daytime Sleepiness And Fatigue
Experts Warn That This Pattern, If Left Unchecked, Can Lead To long-term Sleep Deprivation And May Affect Overall Mental And Physical Well-being. Alarmingly, The Study Also Highlighted That Those Who Consistently Sleep Poorly May Find Themselves trapped In A Cycle Of Sleeplessness That Can Last For years.
The Findings Are Particularly Relevant In Today's Post-pandemic World, Where Remote Work And Desk Jobs Have Become The Norm. Many Workers Spend Extended Hours In Front Of Screens, With Minimal Breaks Or Physical Activity, Unknowingly Increasing Their Vulnerability To Sleep Disorders.
Health Professionals Now Recommend Incorporating Regular Physical Activity Into Daily Routines, Especially For Those In Full-time Desk Jobs. Simple Practices Such As Walking Meetings, Stretching Every Hour, Or Using Standing Desks Can Contribute To Better Sleep Hygiene And Overall Health.
As Awareness Around Workplace Wellness Continues To Grow, This Study Serves As A Strong Reminder That movement Is Not Optional — It’s Essential For Sleep And Survival.
