Singaporean workers sleep-deprived: survey

Almost 2 in 5 wish for nap spot in the office.

According to LinkedIn's "Office Endangered Species" study, professionals from around the world hinted at several key dream tools they’d like to see in the future.

Here's more from LinkedIn:

It seems that Singaporean professionals are a sleep-deprived workforce, with 35% of them choosing a quiet place in the office where they’re allowed to take a nap – the largest percentage among the 18 countries surveyed.

Other dream tools included a place in the office that provides natural sunlight (23 percent), and having a clone or assistant to help them in their days (22 percent). In a funny twist, 14 percent of respondents said they wish they had a mute button for their co-workers, so they don’t have to hear them talk.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
