A recent study, conducted by non-profit 4 Day Week Global, finds that employees who transitioned to a four-day workweek clocked nearly eight hours of sleep per night, an hour more than they slept while working five days a week.

4 Day Week Global, which has been testing the feasibility of a four-day week as part of the future of work, commissioned economist Juliet Schor to survey 304 workers at 16 companies in the United Kingdom who are participating in a six-month trial of the shorter workweek.

In addition, starting this week, more than 60 companies in North America are getting an extra day off per week with no loss of pay, according to the organization. That includes a group of nearly 30 employers that had started their journey earlier this year.
