Survey says 75% of remote workers like it so much they want to do it forever
Survey says 75% of remote workers like it so much they want to do it foreverSurvey says 75% of remote workers like it so much they want to do it foreverRemote workers are getting comfy working from home. So comfortable, in fact, that 75% of them plan on staying remote for forever if they could, Amerisleep found in a survey of 1,001 exclusively work-from-homers.Some are even snuggling under the covers while they work or dont work. Almosthalf of remote workers fess up to working from their beds for an average of 11 hours a week, and almost 2 in 5 report napping for an average of 9 hours during the work week. That could be adding up a recent study found that 53% of professionals are working from home half the week.While many people say theyre more productive while working from home because of the decline in office distractions, that doesnt seem to be the case here while remote workers were 57% more likely to be satisfied with their job than those working from an office, they also sai d they were unproductive for almost 26% of their day (all that napping)Happy on their ownMany work-from-homers seem to prefer going it alone, and dont seem to be missing the camaraderie of the office. 51.4% of remote employees said they felt left out of their company culture never/a little of the time, while 27.5% responded some of the time. 20% said they didnt feel isolated from others, while 49.9% said they felt isolated a little or some of the time.No commute does not equal extra sleepRemote work doesnt translate to extra sleep due to time saved in the absence of a commute, apparently. While 35% of American adults are not getting the recommended hours of sleep every night, 39.5% of remote workers arent getting enough sleep. They may want to start catching up according to the survey, remote employees who get less than 7 hours of sleep per night were 70% more likely to be dissatisfied with their job, and 76% more likely to experience high levels of stress.The remote lifestyle is o ften freeing, sometimes maddening, and often isolating. But many say the autonomy is worth it. Atthe end of the day, however you feel, its often nothing that shutting down for the night by separating your home from your office, having a cup of tea, a long walk, and a good nights rest cant fix.
