Unemployed people sleep worse than workers

To see how employment status affects sleeping habits, researchers at University College London and Dartmouth College analysed data on 2.5m Americans, collected by the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention between 2006 and 2019. Participants were asked how many hours they slept on average, and how often their sleep was disturbed. The researchers found that, although unemployed people got a little more sleep overall , this average masks wide variations.

The National Sleep Foundation, a non-profit group in America, argues that between seven and nine hours of sleep is the optimal night’s rest. But 35% of workers reported sleeping for less than seven hours a night. This compares with 39% of those out of work for less than a year and 45% of those out of work for a year or longer.

Unemployed people were also more likely to report sleeping too much. Just over 3.4% of people in work reported sleeping more than ten hours a night, compared with 7.4% of those unemployed for less than a year, and 10.7% of those out of work for at least a year. Why do unemployed people get worse sleep? The authors reckon that anxiety and depression upset their slumber. At the other end of the spectrum, being out of a job reduces the opportunity cost of sleep: idle workers have less to lose, financially, from hitting the snooze button. The consequences are much worse than just bags under the eyes.

Amazing , does sleeping long at night help the body or not ? What is the meaning of having (get short eyes )....I was bit confuse 😕 that the end...any help pls ? 🇳🇬❤

WFH allowed me for the first time in many years to sleep 7 hours during working days

People brag about how little sleep they get or claim they need.

It's a jungle out there

Impact: Several heart patients

It’s caused stress. And for Americans who either had, or desire, a job and can’t land one, stress is a factor that leads to loss of sleep. This is another reason why the pandemic is hitting the working and middle classes harder than either the rich or poor. DanRodricks

Great research, very enlightening lol

Isn’t it too obvious ?

What a shock!

Wow, what a surprise! It must’ve taken hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of study to figure that out. And how useful is the information please?

I could have told you that. What's the phrase I'm looking for? Oh yeah... common sense.

It doesn't care whether you have the money to buy food, but how well you sleep.

No shit Sherlock

I think the unemployed would sleep better if they had a job. Oh, sorry. That’s what you’re saying.

Wait until their unemployment runs out, they'll be having nightmares!😵

No shit. We pay for this?

No shit

You mean people dealing with massive anxiety don’t sleep as well as people who aren’t? Shocked I tell you, shocked. 🤦🏻‍♂️

You don’t say

UBI fixes this problem just ask my friend AndrewYang 🙏🏾

Didn’t really need a graph for it
