Impact Of Working From Home

Despite the majority of people preferring working from home (74%), on average, respondents report sleeping less, sleeping later, and stressing more.
This data is not surprising, considering the uncertainty and stress caused by COVID-19.
Across all demographics, on average 82% of all respondents are going to sleep later since working from home. Only 36% of all respondents claim they are getting better sleep, and 57% are more stressed since their homes also became the office.
Despite a reduction in sleep quality and increase in stress, 63% of respondents feel they are more productive when working from home.

"Now that our offices are based in our lounges, bedrooms and home offices, that temptation to send just one more email, or just check one more thing can become invasive and create added levels of stress and anxiety — in what is already a stressful and anxiety provoking situation."

The Impact Of Poor Sleep On Mental Health

It is evident that poor sleep has a significant impact upon mood and stress.
An average of 71% of respondents state poor sleep has impacted their mood a lot. Females feel the impact of poor sleep on their mood more than men, with 82% of women reporting a link between mood and sleep dissatisfaction.
71% of respondents cite job security is the leading factor contributing to sleeplessness. Worry about finances is also keeping people up at night. 66% of people surveyed agree that current stress is related to money.
The 18 - 24 age group is least worried about job security (58%). Respondents aged between 45 and 54 are the most worried about their job (76%).

“Sleep loss affected more people during the first four weeks of the Covid-19 related lockdown than it did before. This reflects stress levels due to anxieties about health, financial consequences, changes in social life and the daily routine, all of which may affect sleep.”

Life Since Lockdown

While working from home, on average, most people worked from a home office. But others barely left the bed.
36% of respondents worked in a home office. 46% of home office dwellers were older parents. 28% of respondents worked in the bedroom. 31% of bedroom office workers were single.
While at home, most spent their time practicing cooking skills (37%), but reading (20%), redecorating (19%), and working out (16%) were also popular activities. The least amount of time was spent socializing (8%), which is not surprising.

"I live in a small house without a dedicated area for work. So being able to clearly differentiate between 'work time' and 'home time' has been vital to help protect my space - and my sanity."

What Does This Mean For America?

Based on the data collected, it’s evident that the shift in working conditions and additional stress factors relating to COVID-19 is resulting in poor sleep.
Sleep is at the heart of mental and physical health and it’s clear many people are struggling to maintain a consistent sleep routine. While the majority of survey respondents prefer working from home, 61% still report sleeping worse.
Young adults have been the most affected, with 46% feeling less productive at home, and 38% missing the traditional workplace. Older adults are the most responsive to working from home conditions with high productivity (69%). Interestingly, older adults are also the group with the largest proportion of home offices.
What the data reveals is that lifestyle factors, and working arrangements within the home, can play a significant role in both productivity and sleep patterns. As more workplaces head in the direction of long-term remote working, it’s clear that creating boundaries between work and rest will be a crucial step to improve sleep quality and mental health.
