A recent study unveils travelers' behavioral patterns and attitudes toward working and living space while on extended trips. Residence Inn by Marriott conducted the research through D.K Shifflet Associates, a McLean, Va.-based research company, which interviewed 300 extended stay business travelers. Too little space causes fifty-four percent of extended stay travelers to feel less productive or experience restlessness. Thirty-four percent claim it makes them lose concentration. Two-thirds of the travelers find they have more time for themselves while on the road compared to being at home.
