AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how telecommuting affects sleep quality based on whether workers' telecommuting preferences match their actual frequency of working from home.
- Researchers collected survey data from over 33,000 Japanese workers, focusing on 9,425 who answered follow-up questions, to assess their sleep quality using the Athens Insomnia Scale.
- Results indicated that workers who preferred telecommuting experienced a significantly higher risk of insomnia if they telecommuted less frequently, particularly those telecommuting less than once a week.
Article Abstract
Objective: We hypothesized that telecommuting's impact on sleep varied based on preference-frequency mismatch. Here, we evaluated this relationship in a large cohort of Japanese workers.
Methods: We collected data from 33,302 Japanese workers through an online survey and analyzed participant preferences and frequency of telecommuting in 9425 individuals who responded to a follow-up survey. We evaluated sleep using the Athens Insomnia Scale and estimated odds ratios of insomnia using multilevel logistic regression.
Results: Workers preferring telecommuting had a higher risk of insomnia as telecommuting frequency decreased. OR for insomnia was 1.87 ( P < 0.001) in those who telecommuted less than once per week.
Conclusion: Telecommuting's impact on workers' sleep depends on preference mismatch, with a higher risk of insomnia among those who prefer telecommuting but are unable to utilize it.
