Lack of sleep during the work week
Many people struggle with lack of sleep but they don’t realize how it affects their work and career. The workweek can be hectic, and it is not uncommon for people to doze off from mild exhaustion. Can you relate?
Perhaps you get adequate hours of sleep, but the quality of rest is not right. This leaves you with less energy for the busy schedule of the next day to come. The sleep deficit gets worse and worse. Month after month, year after year.
There are health consequences linked to a lack of healthy sleep. For example, individuals with a chronic lack of restorative sleep are at a greater risk for many types of cancer, mental health conditions like depression and anxiety, and heart issues like strokes and high blog pressure. Poor sleep can also make it hard for men and women to maintain a healthy weight. We discuss these in other blog posts. In today’s message, we want you to consider how poor sleep can affect a person’s work and career.
Healthy or unhealthy sleep impacts your career
A July 2020 article in the Harvard Business Review points out how poor quality sleep and daytime sleepiness affect a person’s job performance. Their findings indicate that daytime sleepiness “decreases productivity, career progression, and job satisfaction. There are clearly long-term consequences of lacking a healthy sleep routine, including a high career cost.”
