All office fruits serve a slightly different purpose. For example, office fruit apples help improve eyesight, while figs from the office fruit basket help with digestion.
Cherries, meanwhile, are a good source of melatonin, which makes sure you switch off a little bit quicker when your head hits the pillow after a long day at work.
They could be the best thing to take from the office fruit delivery as, "poor sleep quality can lead to depression, as it affects your mental state", according to Jessica Alexander, spokesperson for the Sleep Council.
New research from Silent Night has revealed that new parents lose the equivalent of six months sleep during the first two years of their child’s life.
Around one in ten parents only manage to get about two-and-a-half hours shut-eye each night.
Ms Alexander said lack of sleep could also cause strain in a relationship.
"If you are poorly rested, you are likely to be tired, grumpy and impatient. If you are well-rested, and feeling good, you are going to be much more cheerful to be around. So by default sleep will affect a relationship."
Anyone who is desperately trying to get a good night’s kip should consider eating some cherries from the office fruit box while at work to help you switch off when you arrive home.
