Sleep is not only essential for our physical and mental health but also has a significant impact on employment, productivity, and income. Research shows that each additional hour of sleep per week increases the probability of employment by 1.6 percentage points and weekly earnings by 3.4%. Lack of sleep is associated with various negative consequences, including desynchronized circadian rhythms, weakened immune system, and cognitive decline. Factors such as exposure to light, noise, and digital technologies can affect the quality of sleep. Incentives for sleep, such as subsidies and rewards, have been considered by organizations. Public interventions and behavioral incentives could help individuals prioritize and improve their sleep habits.
