PJs are OK: Scientists working from home in their in pyjamas work just as effectively
Survey: A study based solely on people’s responses to a series of questions.
People: This is a study based on research using people.
A study of staff and students at five medical research institutes in NSW has found that wearing pyjamas while working from home during the COVID pandemic was not associated with lower productivity, but was linked with poorer mental health. Not surprisingly, the study also found that those working at home with young children reported they had lower productivity, but no deterioration in mental health. Unlike established researchers, early career researchers were less productive during the pandemic.
