The chart below shows the sleep patterns of people in five different occupations according to a Canadian study.The chart gives information about a Canadian study in the daily sleeping hours of people whose jobs are doctors, business executives, full-time mothers, truck drivers and students. The most significant facts to emerge are students and full-time mothers have the longest time to sleep, while others have less sleeping time.
Moving to a more detailed analysis, students spend more time to sleep compared to people with other occupations at 8 hours from 11-12 pm to 6-7 am. Despite the equal sleeping duration in a day, mothers have a slightly different pattern when they go to bed at 10-11 pm and wake up at 5-6 am. However, they usually awake for two hours between their sleeping times at night, and then have a nap at noon from 1-2 pm until 3-4 pm.
On the other hand, business executives and truck drivers have 6 hours of sleep in a day with varied pattern. Albeit their sleeping time starts at around the same time as students, business executives wake up earlier at 4-5 am. That said, they have an hour more time to sleep than doctors.
