Japan and the UK each reported 16% of people getting under six hours of sleep per night, while Germany reported 9% and that number falls to 6% in Canada. With the largest labor force of the five countries (121.5 mn full-time workers and 27.3 mn part-time workers), the US is estimated to be losing nearly 10 mn hours (1.23 mn working days) of work productivity every year due to undersleeping.

Other measures that could prove helpful include helping employees clock the recommended weekly target of 150 minutes of physical activity to improve physical and mental health (ideally by providing access to an in-house gym), as well as keeping the availability of caffeinated and sugary beverages to a minimum.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Significant economic losses due to foregone productivity hours compound over time, research shows<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":588767,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"single-feature.php","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","ep_exclude_from_search":false,"_primary_brand":0,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7348],"tags":[633,7138,235,322],"brand":[],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"class_list":["post-588766","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health","tag-enterprisepm","tag-health","tag-labor","tag-science","wpautop","entry"],"acf":{"mongo_id":"1b67d245-a836-4bda-af77-ecc4a9d41a83","is_powered_by":false,"story_type":"1","photo_url":"https:\/\/ent.news\/2023\/6\/794.jpeg","photo_position":"above","homepage_title":"","full_issue_title":"","related_issue":[588750],"teaser":"Significant economic losses due to foregone productivity hours compound over time, research shows","voice_url":"https:\/\/s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/ent.news\/audio\/2023\/6\/.11cc551e-ea43-43bd-859f-ff8f2ab8428f.mp3"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
