Estate agents aren't sleeping, according to a survey commissioned by Travelodge. They're apparently the most sleep-deprived British workers, managing just 5 hours and 50 minutes of shut-eye every night. Lorry and taxi drivers are next, with 6 hours and 16 minutes, followed by bankers with 6 hours and 23 minutes. The neat connection between these results and the credit crunch and fuel price crises made me - for a moment - doubt the veracity of the results. And I became more cynical after the claim that media professionals are sleeping the sleep of the just, with a survey-topping 7 hours and 12 minutes. Err... what about the parties? Presumably that's counting daytime desk-naps, too.
