Consumer product testing company Expert Reviews joined forces with market research firm YouGov to survey nearly 4,300 adults throughout the U.K. in November 2023. The results of the inaugural Expert Reviews Sleep Survey were published last month.
In addition to getting plenty of sleep at night, CEOs were the most likely to report napping “fairly often” or “very often”:
- Chief executive: 48%
- Chairperson: 41%
- Director: 24%
- No management responsibility: 12%
- Owner: 10%
- Manager: 9%

That napping is less common in the Western world than other cultures made the survey data stand out to Michael Grandner, Ph.D., director of the Sleep and Health Research Program at the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson.
“The fact that many people who are working from home are more likely to take advantage of opportunities to nap was very surprising,” Grandner tells Fortune via email. “It suggests that many workers would prefer to integrate napping into their lifestyle if they could.”
