01/11/2004: Britons in 'vicious cycle of tiredness and stress'
Britain is afflicted by a national sleep deficit that is leading to a 'vicious cycle of tiredness and stress', according to report by the think-tank Demos.

The research discovered that 39 per cent of adults suffer from lack of sleep, while this figure rose to 50 per cent among managers and those aged over 30 with young children to look after.

The author of the report, Charlie Leadbeater, said: 'Working more while sleeping less and less is a recipe for lower productivity, poorer quality and less innovation.

'A small loss of sleep is likely to have a big impact on people who lead stressful lives. Stressed out parents are already not sleeping enough. They are the people most likely to have their sleep disrupted and they are least able to recover.'

It is hoped that the report's findings will encourage employers and the Government to recognise the value of ensuring people are enjoying a good night's sleep.
