• There were no gender differences.
• Those who unplug a few times a week are more likely to have a household income between $50K-$75K per year.
• Those under the age of 18 are just about as likely as those over 55-years-old to unplug daily.
• Asian or Pacific Islanders are least likely to unplug; Aleut Eskimos are the largest group to do so daily.
• Those in service roles (firefighters, waitstaff, child care) and those in sales roles are most likely to say they never unplug (55 percent and 49 percent, respectively).
• Smartphone owners are 34 percent more likely than non-smartphone owners to say they never unplug.
• Unhappy people are more likely to say they never unplug.
• Those who are most interested in movies and TV are more likely to say they never unplug vs. those passionate about fashion, sports and music. Those passionate about travel are most likely to say they do so daily.
