Abstract
Sleep deprivation leads to stress and under-performance in work, which affects labor’s well-being and performance of work in construction. The sleep deprivation study was done on construction laborers on a huge construction sector in Bengaluru, Karnataka. The paper shows different stages of sleep and sleep pattern for laborers by installing an application on mobile. Hence results show the quality of sleep and labor productivity by relating to the concentration level at work by considering the daily progress report. Inadequate sleep caused increased risk of concentration at work. The labor’s recommended sleep is 7.5-h per night as the guidelines of doctors and researchers. The time of sleep lesser than the recommended would lead to a high risk of work accidents which is 12%. The findings in this study of laborers in the sector of construction would lead to a decrease in productivity and performance of labor. The risk of accidents at home and work entirely depends on the lack of sleep.
