Doctors get the least amount of sleep, says study

ONE in four doctors regularly go to work after four hours’ sleep - and average only 5.6 hours a night, new research reveals.

As a result, more than two-thirds of medics spend their time off catching up on sleep. Over their working life they lose 13 years - double the national average.

Nearly seven out of 10 doctors blame stress for their poor quality sleep. They also cited eating too late at night.
