According to a study published in the journal SLEEP, the more hours a person
works, the less sleep he or she gets. According to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention, 30 percent of employed Americans get less than the
recommended seven to nine hours of sleep a day.
Though you may not feel
especially tired, lack of sleep could be affecting your performance at work. One
study found that sleeping less than six hours a night was one of the best
predictors of job burnout. Another study calculated that our collective lack of
sleep costs U.S. businesses and medical centers $63.2 billion a year in lost
productivity. In other words, you’re actually doing yourself — and your career —
a disservice by letting work take away from your sleep time. Establish a hard
stop time a few hours before bed and stick to it.
