Sleep After 50 Influences Employment Years
A Finnish study has revealed that sleep disorders reduce the number of working years after the age of fifty. People suffering from severe sleep disturbances lose approximately eight months of their professional life compared to those without sleep problems. The results showed that individuals with moderate sleep disturbances spend about five fewer months working after age fifty, while those with severe disorders have their work duration reduced by around eight months, regardless of gender or job type. Additionally, women who do not experience sleep disturbances have an average of about 14 years of work ahead of them, whereas men with severe sleep disorders in routine jobs have a minimum of approximately 12.5 years remaining. The study emphasized the importance of supporting sleep health and treating sleep disorders—such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and awareness programs—to help improve the length of professional life. It also noted that not all influencing factors, such as mental and physical health, were accounted for in the study.
