Previous research shows that sleep time is shaped by family constraints and paid work organisation. However, the impact of both work and family on sleep routines is relatively unknown. Using the 2009-2010 French Time Use Survey, this article examines how workers' sleep routines are affected by paid work and family situation, and emphasises the social significance of sleep patterns. Paid work and family situation both structure the duration and regularity of sleep. Paid work reduces sleep time and has a disruptive effect on sleep routines, but to different degrees depending on socio-occupational category and work schedule. Having a small child has a negative effect on sleep on any given day, but works in favour of a regular sleep routine, as well as the tendency for spouses to synchronise. However, the regulating effect of family life accentuates the disruptive effect of paid work for the most atypical work schedules
