Sleepy and sitting: a dual curse for the modern workforce?

该项目旨在产生关于睡眠不足和久坐对健康指标和表现影响的新知识。许多工人，特别是那些在标准时间以外工作的工人，都有久坐和睡眠不足的问题。该项目的预期结果包括解决大量既困又坐的工人所经历的双重负担的关键证据。这将为许多因睡眠不足和久坐而健康和安全受到损害的澳大利亚工人带来重大好处。它还将有助于建立工作场所政策和公共卫生准则的证据基础。

This project aims to generate new knowledge about the impact of inadequate sleep and prolonged sitting on health markers and performance. Many workers, particularly those working outside standard hours, experience both prolonged sitting and inadequate sleep. Expected outcomes of this project include critical evidence to address the dual burden experienced by a large population of workers who are both sleepy and sitting. This should provide significant benefits for the many working Australians whose health and safety is compromised due to their exposure to inadequate sleep and prolonged sitting. It will also contribute to the evidence-base for workplace policies and public health guidelines.
