Study: Work may be costing people sleep - Portland Business Journal:: "The National Sleep Foundation says Americans are not getting enough rest and work may be getting in the way.

In a study released Monday the Washington, D.C.-based organization said average nightly sleep for adults is 6 hours and 40 minutes, below the 7 hours and 18 minutes that most people say they need.

The reason for less sleep may be due to increased workload. The report said workers are spending an average of nearly 4.5 hours each week doing additional work from home on top of a 9.5 hour average workday.

Workdays are getting longer with 25 percent of people spending between 9 and 10 hours on the job and 33 percent saying they work 10 or more hours each day.

Bedtime, on average, is 10:53 p.m., according to the foundation."
