Study Finds Sleeping More Does Not Improve Well-Being
Depriving ourselves of sleep is never a good idea. A new study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology finds that the duration of the sleep does not matter for the well-being of individuals rather the quality of sleep matters. However, the increased duration of sleep did not improve the productivity, earnings, financial choices and sense of well-being of the participants, the MIT researchers found. “In contrast to the night sleep intervention, we find clear evidence of naps improving a range of outcomes, including their productivity, their cognitive function, and their psychological well-being, as well as some evidence on savings,” added Schilbach. According to Schilbach, the sleep quality of the Chennai workers was extremely poor as it included multiple interruptions, which is why increasing the sleep duration by around 30 minutes could not be beneficial for them.
