New Finnish research reveals that sleep disruptions—whether too little or too much—can slash your working life by up to nine months after age fifty, with moderate issues cutting nearly five months and severe ones shaving off eight. Surprisingly, both short and optimal sleep (7–8.5 hours) had similar impacts, while long sleep (9+ hours) correlated with shorter careers, likely due to hidden health problems. Women without sleep issues actually outlasted men in the workforce between 50 and 68. The study underscores the urgent need for workplace sleep support, especially for lower-income workers, positioning good sleep as a key strategy for career longevity and overall health.
