Abstract
Although individuals allocate a large amount of their time to sleep, typically eight to nine hours a day, sleep time is not considered as a determinant of economic performance and well-being. However, it is about time that labor market policy accounts for the role of sleep, given its effects on employment and productivity. Hence, both policymakers and corporations should consider designing policies and offering incentives to increase the time employees devote to sleep. ELEVATOR PITCH
