The social structures of sleep: Work and family effects on workers’ sleep

Capucine Rauch

PhD Student, OSC - INED

Two sets of constraints affect the sleep organisation of workers: work and family. Based on the last French Time Use Survey, this presentation shows the joint effect of these time constraints and points out how related inequalities affect sleep organisation.

Work intermittently constrains the sleep organisation. It has a negative impact on sleep duration and deregulate sleeping hours. The intensity of this constraint depends on the socioprofessional category and working hours. Family is a permanent constraint, which regulates sleeping hours. However, for atypical working hours this regulating effect increases the deregulation due to working hours.
