Brit 'junk sleep' habit
26 05 08 - 09:48 It is quick, could cause obesity, and is costing the economy millions of pounds in lost productivity.No, not junk food - junk sleep. A quarter of Britons suffer so badly from poor-quality sleep that they are forced to take days off work because of exhaustion, a study suggests.
A poll of 4,000 adults found that only 21 per cent are getting a decent eight hours, while one in five gets less than five hours' a night.
Stress, noisy neighbours, money worries and long working hours are to blame for the sleeplessness epidemic, as well as the more conventional complaints of muscle cramps, indigestion and small children, researchers say.
