Over half of workers 'sleep on job'

Over half of workers 'sleep on job' New research has revealed that falling asleep in the workplace is a common problem, which may be of note to graduates struggling to adjust to the workaday existence.

A study by Peninsula, the UK's largest employment law firm, found that around 63 per cent of British workers admit to falling asleep or feeling sleepy at work.

Some 73 per cent of workers said that believe they would take a nap at work if their employer did not object.

Commenting on the findings, Deb Gibbons, head of diversity at Peninsula said today "Hiding behind your computer monitor and nodding off out of sight from the boss is more common than you think. Office based employees have even been known to nip to the bathroom to get a sneaky five minute kip."

She added that "power naps" are an effective way to relive tiredness and that employees who are sat at a desk throughout the day may begin to question what harm a "cat nap" will do.
