The COVID-19 pandemic forced many people to work remotely but also allowed for more flexible work hours. A new study has sleep scientists thinking differently about 'night owls' and people's sleep habits.
Many so-called night people believe that, when it comes to society’s expectations about when the workday should start, they drew the short straw.
But the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced many people to telework, allowed more flexibility in work schedules, prompting sleep scientists to rethink assumptions about sleep and how to assess patients. Federico Salfi, a doctoral student at the University of L’Aquila and self-professed night owl, joined with colleagues late in 2020how the work-from-home trend influenced Italian sleep habits. Through social media, they identified 875 people who represented in-office and remote workers. They then used web-based questionnaires to discover the impact of remote working on sleep health.
