model answer:
Differences in sleep patterns appear to reflect differences in individuals'
occupations.
A Canadian study has pointed out, for example, that students typically
sleep for a consecutive 8-hour period each night, from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m.

This may be because the central activity in their lives, study, takes place
in normal daylight hours. Similarly, business executives sleep consecutive
hours, but perhaps because their jobs are especially busy and stressful
they sleep for 6 hours on average, getting up around 5 a.m..
By contrast, truck drivers, probably because of their need to keep their
trucks on the road over long periods, tend to sleep in two 3-hour blocks:
one between 7 and 10 a.m. and another from 4 to 7 p.m. Another
occupation associated with broken sleep schedules is that of doctors.
They tend to retire to bed around 1 a.m. and start their day at 7 a.m.., but
may be woken up to deal with emergencies in the middle of the night.

Finally, full-time mothers, especially those with young children, tend to
sleep when their babies do. Typically, they will sleep from 10 p.m. and be
awoken at 1 a.m. to comfort their babies for a couple of hours. They then
go back to bed to wake at 6 a.m., but nap for two hours or so in the early
afternoon.
Thus the influence on one's sleep pattern is worthy of consideration when
choosing an occupation.
