A recent study reveals that inadequate sleep can significantly impact the working lives of individuals over the age of 50, potentially costing them up to nine months of employment.
The research emphasizes the critical nature of sleep health, especially for those in lower socioeconomic groups. It also indicates a gender disparity, showing that women without sleep disturbances tend to enjoy a longer career span from ages 50 to 68 compared to men.
