According to research cited in the provided references, wealthy people tend to sleep more.
Research has found that wealthy people actually sleep more: the lower the income, the less sleep people report (4). This finding suggests a correlation between higher income levels and increased sleep duration. While "sleeping better" can encompass both quantity and quality, having more sleep is a significant factor in overall sleep health.
The notion of achieving financial success often raises questions about work-life balance, including sleep. However, the context provided also includes the question "So how can you make your fortune without skipping sleep?" (7), implying that wealth creation doesn't inherently require sacrificing sleep and that, based on the research, those with more wealth report getting more sleep.
Based on the specific research cited:
- Higher income is associated with more reported sleep.
- Lower income is associated with less reported sleep.
This points towards a potential advantage in sleep duration among wealthier individuals compared to those with lower incomes.
