Many people are finding that they enjoy working from home, which may indicate that remote work, in some capacity, is here to stay, but are working different hours than they did in the office. Sixty-one percent are working more at night or in the early morning, 49% spend more time at their computer, and 50% miss the work-life separation that office-based work allows.
