Remote Workers Gain More Sleep and Exercise, Survey Reveals

A new ONS survey highlights the benefits of remote work, showing increased sleep and exercise time for those working from home.

Remote workers save an average of 56 minutes daily by not commuting, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
The time saved is often used for 24 additional minutes of sleep and 15 extra minutes of exercise and wellbeing activities.
Hybrid working arrangements are more common than fully remote setups, with 28% of British adults working both from home and in the office.
Managers, parents, and individuals over 30 are more likely to have hybrid work patterns compared to younger workers.
Despite the benefits, working solely from home has become less common since the end of the Covid pandemic.
