Study Shows Lawyers are Sleep-Deprived
Thoughts on Balancing Life & the Law
At many Barristers seminars, we frequently talk about the landmark study at Johns Hopkins University that showed that, of all the occupations studied, lawyers were the most vulnerable to depression, suicide, and addiction. Now another study for the National Health Interview Survey says that lawyers are the second most sleep-deprived occupation in the United States. (Does this come as a surprise to any of the lawyers reading this post?) Home health aides were first on the list, with police officers placing third.
