Sleep problems and fatigue are widely recognised as important issues not only for health and wellbeing, but also for safety and productivity in the workplace.

This report examines sleep issues and fatigue across all industries in the general South Australian (SA) working population.

The term 'FLAWS' was created to capture this work-life perspective on the intersection of work and life circumstances that pressure and strain workers' capacity to function effectively and maintain their wellbeing.

  • Fatigue
  • Life
  • And
  • Work
  • Strain

    The main findings of the research include sleep issues and fatigue are common in the general working population and women are more likely to report being fatigued than men, regardless of work hours or parenting status.
