摘要

尽管个人睡眠不足的现象越来越普遍，但我们对劳动力市场的睡眠恢复情况仍然知之甚少。为了解决这一差距，我们使用了来自德国的纵向数据，并利用了由时间和当地日落时间变化引起的睡眠持续时间的外源性波动。我们的研究结果显示，每周多睡一个小时，就业率就会上升1.6个百分点，每周收入就会增加3.4%。这种对收入的影响是由于随着睡眠时间的延长，工作时间会减少，从而提高了生产率。我们还确定了驱动这些影响的关键机制，即睡眠时间较长的人的心理健康水平有所提高。

The labour market returns to sleep

Despite the growing prevalence of insufficient sleep among individuals, we still know little about the labour market return to sleep. To address this gap, we use longitudinal data from Germany and leverage exogenous fluctuations in sleep duration caused by variations in time and local sunset times. Our findings reveal that a one-hour increase in weekly sleep is associated with a 1.6 percentage point rise in employment and a 3.4% increase in weekly earnings. Such effect on earnings stems from productivity improvements given that the number of working hours decreases with longer sleep duration. We also identify a key mechanism driving these effects, namely the enhanced mental well-being experienced by individuals who sleep longer hours.
