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.
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.
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.
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.
我们假设远程办公对睡眠的影响因偏好与频率不匹配而有所不同。在这里,我们在一个大型的日本工人队列中评估了这种关系。
我们通过在线调查收集了 33302 名日本工人的数据,并在回应后续调查的 9425 名参与者中评估了他们的偏好和远程办公频率。我们使用雅典失眠量表评估睡眠,并使用多层次逻辑回归估计失眠的优势比。
偏好远程办公的工人随着远程办公频率的降低,失眠的风险更高。每周远程办公少于一次的工人失眠的优势比为 1.87(P<0.001)。
远程办公对工人睡眠的影响取决于偏好不匹配,对于那些喜欢远程办公但无法使用的人来说,失眠的风险更高。
