The Importance of a Well-Rested Municipal Workforce
A well-rested workforce is essential for effective governance and high-quality public service. Adequate sleep improves focus, decision-making, and efficiency, while reducing absenteeism, healthcare costs, and burnout.
Research confirms the impact: the CDC (2017) identifies insufficient sleep as a public health epidemic, and Harvard Medical School (2007) shows that fatigue-related losses cost U.S. employers billions annually. RAND estimates sleep deprivation drains 2.28% of U.S. GDP each year (Hafner et al., 2016).
By prioritizing rest and wellness, municipalities protect employee well-being, strengthen service delivery, and build more resilient, productive communities.
