Remote Work Adds 15 Minutes of Sleep but 45 Minutes of Sitting
Key Takeaways
- A University of Turku study published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity used accelerometers to compare remote and office workdays among hybrid workers.
- Participants slept about 15 minutes longer on remote days than on office days.
- Sedentary time rose by roughly 45 minutes on remote days, with decreases in standing, light activity, and moderate-to-vigorous activity.
- Researchers attribute much of the extra sitting to less time standing, possibly because home setups rarely include standing workstations.
