Relationships between Sleep and Retirement--Nonretirement Status.

Webb, Wilse B.; Aber, W. Robert

International Journal of Aging and Human Development, v20 n1 p13-19 1984-85

Obtained two-week sleep diaries and four nights of laboratory recordings from 40 persons aged 50 to 70. Results showed no significant effect on sleep structure associated with employment status. Retirement appeared to increase the amount of sleep, generally the result of earlier bedtimes rather than later awakenings. (JAC)
