Long workweeks keeping Americans up late

Also too much Wendy’s chili

A survey released Monday by the National Sleep Foundation found roughly one-third of those surveyed said they had fallen asleep or become very sleepy at work in the past month.  This is bad news for the economy since one-third of workers are sleepy and two-thirds are stupid.

Just how big a deal sleepy workers are depends, of course, on the job. Last week, Dr. Dale E. Klein, the chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission acknowledged it’s probably not a great thing that security guards routinely took naps while on the job at a Pennsylvania nuclear plant.  “On the other hand,” said Dr. Klein, “I think we’d all sleep a lot better if President Bush would nod off a little more during work hours.”
