The chart below shows the sleep patterns of people in five different occupations according to a Canadian study.The table gives the information about the differences in sleep patterns regarding individual's occupations in a Canadian study. The data are divided into five occupations: student, truck driver, full-time mother, business executive, and doctor. Overall, it is immediately obvious that the type of occupations influence the pattern of people to sleep.
It is noticeable that all occupations have an average time to sleep around 6-hour period every day. We can see that student and business executive tend to spend their leisure time to sleep for 8 hours (from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.) and 6 hours (from 11 a.m. to 5 a.m.) respectively. This may occur because their main activities take in normal daylight hours.
On the other hand, truck drivers tend to two three-hour period, from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.). This may be because their jobs force them to drive trucks in long period at daylight hours. Interestingly, full-time mothers have 8 hours to sleep, separated by three periods. They tend to sleep from 10 p.m. and be awoken at 1 a.m. to check their babies for a couple of hours before going back to bed at 3 a.m. and getting from bed at 6 a.m., while they will continue to sleep between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. More broadly, the smallest amount of sleeping time is doctor which has only five hours from 1 a.m. to 7 a.m. and tends to wake up in the middle of the night at 3-4 a.m. owing to emergency.
