Work-related stress is a growing problem around the world. New research suggests that there may be a reciprocal, causal pathway between job strain and disturbed sleep.

The researchers found that sleep disturbances predict a higher perception of stress, higher work demands, a lower degree of control, and less social support at work two years later. On the other hand, they concluded that higher work demands predicted subsequent sleep disturbances.
