Sleep is as important to humans as food and water, but it is often sacrificed to work, especially for farm workers. Dairy farming, in particular, can involve long hours and substantial physical activity, especially on farms that practice block calving—when cows in a herd all calve during a set period of time, usually over six to 12 weeks. Research into how these management practices affect the sleep quality of farm workers is extremely limited. A recent article in the Journal of Dairy Science documents how researchers in New Zealand are working to fill in the research gaps, illustrating that dairy farmers’ are generally getting less sleep and experiencing more stress during spring calving season—and highlighting ways farms can combat these trends.
