Lol I don't see how more sleep equals more productivity. Sure, if you sleep more, you'll have a better strength to work. But in a lot of cases, productivity can't compromise with good sleep. People lose sleep over work, and that's why coffee (or just caffeine in general) is necessary.

@SW-User Neuroscience confirms (multiple studies) that poor sleep (7 or fewer hours) directly affects productivity. RAND corp study (2016) estimates the cost of lost productivity in US alone is $411 billion. Memory, productivity, creativity, learning, lateral thinking, speed of task completion... the list goes on - all affected.

@Abstraction I'm not being scientific. I'm being realistic. Those multiple studies won't help people get more sleep because they have work to do late at night, and they certainly won't help people gain consciousness during the day for more work.

@SW-User I'm being realistic. I work in overseas aid, I face jetlag all the time. I've always been an insomniac anyway and thought I could survive on 5-6 hours sleep.
Since I've begun to change my sleep patterns, I've gained consciousness during the day, creativity, problem-solving, concentration. I'm far more productive, get more done in less time, higher value outputs. Every system in our body, including the risks of dementia, diabetes and other poor health - is significantly affected by poor sleep. If someone is really expected to do 18 hours of work each day, then there's something seriously wrong.
