The market value of sleep: using economic input-output analysis to shift society's views on sleep loss

Introduction: Modern society is driven by economic profit and output. Sleep loss is considered to impact profit and output via fatigue related accidents. However, the consequences of sleep loss are not limited to these short term performance decrements. Sleep loss also impacts physical and mental health, contributing to the prevalence of many diseases and social issues. These burden society with increased medical and social welfare costs. Fatigue Risk Management Systems and prescriptive legislation do not directly address these consequences.
