Consumers may increase spending on sleep aids, mattresses, wellness products, and healthcare services. Conversely, weight gain could increase healthcare costs and reduce discretionary spending. Workplace productivity losses from sleep deprivation could suppress wages and economic output.
Potential for public health campaigns promoting sleep hygiene, workplace policies addressing sleep-work balance, healthcare system preparation for obesity-related conditions, and possible regulation of sleep-disrupting technologies or work schedules.
