While most of us may have gripes about the industry we’re in, if you’re a marketer, then you can perhaps count yourself lucky in at least one aspect – your sleep is less likely to suffer, according to new research.
A survey of more than 3,000 professionals by bed retailer Get Laid Beds has revealed the professions that result in the most and least sleepless nights.
Just pipped by the energy and utilities sector – an industry currently under high scrutiny – marketing, PR and advertising was the second most likely industry to report getting a minimum of seven hours sleep a night.
More than four in 10 (45%) of those surveyed that work in marketing, advertising and PR said they managed to get over seven hours sleep a night.
Closely behind were sales professionals (44%), making it the third best profession for sleep. Half of those working in energy and utilities manage more than seven hours’ sleep a night.
