摘要

充足的睡眠对各种经济成果都很重要。我们利用 2020 年至 2022 年期间德国近 50 万个个人消费者可穿戴传感器收集的睡眠时间的每日地区级数据，研究了环境温度与人类睡眠之间的关系。我们的研究结果表明，温度与睡眠时间之间存在非线性关系。平均睡眠时间在高温下会缩短，而在低温下则不受影响。例如，我们发现在热带地区的夜晚（日最低气温超过 20 °C），平均睡眠时间与中温夜晚相比减少了 2.8%（12 分 8 秒），虽然幅度不大，但在统计学上却有显著意义。我们记录了高最低气温下身体活动（每日步数）和生命体征（静息心率）的相应变化，这可能是气温与睡眠之间联系的潜在机制。

Too hot to sleep

Adequate sleep is important for a variety of economic outcomes. We study the relationship between ambient temperatures and human sleep using daily district-level data on sleep duration collected by nearly half a million individual consumer wearable sensors in Germany from 2020 to 2022. Our results illustrate a nonlinear relationship between temperature and sleep duration. Average sleep duration decreases at high temperatures and is unaffected by low temperatures. For instance, we find a small but statistically significant reduction in average sleep duration of 2.8% (12 min and 8 s) on a tropical night (when daily minimum temperature exceeds 20 °C) compared to a mid-temperature night. We document corresponding changes in physical activity (number of daily steps) and vital signs (resting heart rate) at high minimum temperatures, which could represent potential mechanisms for the link between temperature and sleep.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Environmental Economics and Management publishes theoretical and empirical papers devoted to specific natural resources and environmental issues. For consideration, papers should (1) contain a substantial element embodying the linkage between economic systems and environmental and natural resources systems or (2) be of substantial importance in understanding the management and/or social control of the economy in its relations with the natural environment. Although the general orientation of the journal is toward economics, interdisciplinary papers by researchers in other fields of interest to resource and environmental economists will be welcomed.
