Abstract

Over the last century, the average duration of sleep in the world has decreased from 8 to 6 hours. Lack of sleep has a negative impact on people's lives and society as a whole: children's performance at school worsens; doctors, drivers and representatives of many other professions make more mistakes; labor productivity decreases, which ultimately leads to countries losing part of their GDP. This work examines the nature of sleep as a factor in the development of socioeconomic systems. Based on the study using regression analysis, a cyclical specificity of the influence of sleep duration on socioeconomic systems was discovered. Sufficient sleep is justified from an economic point of view and should be stimulated at the state level, as well as by employers.
