'Though often relying on anecdotal evidence, there have been reported cases of alternative sleeping patterns that have been used to apparent success,' the Berkshire-based company said.
The researchers took data from a YouGov survey, which asked 1,401 working adults about their sleeping habits to create a chart.īut people don't necessarily have to get unbroken sleep to get their rest. 'We wanted to compare these individuals against data from other people working in those sectors.' 'You often read and hear stories of successful individuals, especially in business, boasting about how much they get done while the rest of us are tucked up in bed,' said Made to Measure Blinds who made the graphic. The chart also shows how people in marketing and PR get the least sleep, with the sector having the highest number of people who sleep less than three hours. Sleeping well is also linked to general better health, with those who get enough sleep more likely to have better mental health and less likely to be overweight, develop high blood pressure, raised cholesterol and Type 2 diabetes- all factors which make people more prone to memory loss. 'We came across studies that showed that sleeping well in middle age predicted better mental functioning 28 years later.' 'It's the difference between investing up front rather than trying to compensate later,' he explained. Michael Scullin, director of Baylor University's Sleep Neuroscience and Cognition Laboratory, in Texas, examined 50 years of sleep research in his study. Now research has revealed that sleeping well in our formative years can predict better mental function in old age, and may be able to delay or even help prevent age-related memory loss. Sound sleep in young and middle-aged people allows the brain to consolidate the day's memories- boosting memory and learning. Having eight hours of 'quality sleep' a night can help stave off developing Alzheimer's in later life, a study has found.
