Good morning, Monday! Still feeling sleepy? Blame it on Sunday. A new study has
found that it’s the worst day for a night’s
sleep.

A team of researchers in Britain has
carried out the study and found that almost 60 per cent of employees have their
worst night’s sleep of the week on Sundays with restless nights forcing one in
four to call in sick on a Monday.

Moreover, disrupted sleep has
also been blamed for a lack of concentration at work (nearly 46 per cent) on
Mondays, increased irritability towards bosses (30 per cent) and the odd
impromptu nap at the desk (20 per
cent).

"Millions of workers are
starting the week tired and unmotivated," according to Leigh McCarron of hotel
chain Travelodge which commissioned the research.

However, the survey of 3,500
adults has found that Friday provided the best night’s sleep, with eight in ten
people getting their least disrupted night’s sleep at the end of the working
week, according to

The
Daily Telegraph.

In fact,
millions of adults across the world claim they suffer regularly from insomnia
and most blame concerns over work for keeping them awake on a Sunday night.

Britons are said to lose an
average of 51 minutes of sleep each night to worrying, a total of one month’s
worth of sleep every year.

Residents of Edinburgh are the
biggest victims of work-related insomnia, with 47 per cent struggling to doze
off every night, whereas workers in Inverness, Norwich and Brighton get the best
night’s sleep, the researchers have found.
