I think it is a dream of many people to get rich in their sleep. Well, good news, that is possible according to a study by Joan Costa-Font and her collaborators. Ok, I admit it’s not quite ‘getting rich’ and not exactly ‘in their sleep’ but bear with me and my poor attempt at generating clickbait.
Very topical Joachim! I was just listening to this podcast today which you might enjoy ...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us8n8VBQn_c . I'm retired now so get plenty of sleep but was frequently guilty of getting less than 6 hours sleep per night when I worked.
Interesting analysis. But perhaps increasing wages by 3.4% results in 2% more sleep, and one benefit of being more productive is the opportunity to get more sleep.
The US does what I guess is a similar time use survey, reported at https://www.bls.gov/tus/. While there are questions about both sleeping and earning, I didn't see any reports which correlate the two.
Hi Joachim, thanks for sharing this post. Like you mentioned in your last paragraph, people underestimate the benefits of sleep and actually brag on how little they can get by. Another book recommendation is „why we sleep“ from Matthew walker
