我们对12名使用电脑（平均年龄35.2岁）的在家工作的非工作女性进行了为期两个月的时间预算和疲劳感研究。他们都至少有一个学龄前儿童。研究人员调查了这些女性的实际工作量以及对疲劳感和睡眠的相关影响。结果表明，无论一周中的哪一天，所做的工作都涉及许多个夜晚。主观疲劳程度与工作时数无关，而受完成一天工作的时间影响。这种趋势在凌晨一点钟工作结束后尤为明显。那些遵循这种工作模式的人白天会小睡，尽管随后的夜间睡眠质量可能很差。他们大约在14:00小睡，而不是在19:00小睡。因此，睡眠策略被证明会受到在家工作的影响。建议有必要支持这些工人调整工作时间分配和采取适合个人情况的睡眠模式。
We conducted a study on time budget and fatigue feelings over a two-month period of 12 non-employed, home-based female workers using computers (mean age 35.2 yr). All of them had at least one preschool child. The actual amount of work done by these women and the related effects on the fatigue feelings and sleep were investigated. The results showed that the work done was characterized by involving many night hours, irrespective of the day of the week. The degree of subjective fatigue was not dependent on the number of hours worked, but affected by the time at which the work of the day was completed. This tendency was notable after one o'clock in the morning when the work was completed. Those who followed such a work pattern took daytime naps, although a quality of the subsequent nighttime sleep taken might be poor. They took a nap around 14:00 but not around 19:00. The sleep strategies were thus shown to be affected by home-based work. A need is suggested to support these workers in adjusting work time distribution and taking sleep patterns adapted to individual conditions.
