Wellbeing | The most sleep deprived cities and professions

Getting an undisturbed nights sleep is important for employees. Not only does it boost concentration and productivity, it is likely to improve their mood whilst at work too and this is crucial for maintaining relationships with colleagues.

Despite the importance of getting enough sleep, new research has revealed that the majority of Brits struggle to get above six hours per night.

The recommended amount of sleep per night for the average adult is between seven and nine hours. However, a study conducted by The Cotswold Company has shown that we are a nation of restless people, with some professions significantly reducing the amount of sleep that a person can get per night.

In addition to this, the study found that location can also have an impact people's sleeping patterns, with some UK cities having below half of the recommended sleep time for an average adult.
