Forbes:
Sleep strategies to drive employee productivity

2 May 2018

Research from two economists, published in a working paper by the London School of Economics Centre for Economic Performance, notes that certain populations — such as working parents — may be even more affected. As reported by Quartz, improving a mother's sleep by just one hour, for example, could increase the following:  (1) "Employment by 4 percentage points"; (2) "The number of hours worked by 7 percent"; (3) "Household income by 10-11 percent".  In other words, you really can't afford to overlook sleep when you're trying to improve employee productivity.
