Prioritize Sleep For Health & Productivity

Prioritize Sleep For Health & Productivity

 

12 Jun 2023

A study published in the Harvard Business Review revealed that insufficient sleep has detrimental effects on various cognitive functions, including reaction time, memory, focus, decision-making, and spatial orientation. In fact, sleeping less than 5-6 hours per night can result in impairment comparable to having a blood alcohol level of 0.1%, surpassing the legal threshold for impairment. Obtaining adequate sleep is not only vital for one’s mental and physical well-being but is also indispensable for maintaining productivity. Just as it would be unreasonable to expect oneself to perform well or make important decisions while intoxicated, it is equally illogical to consider oneself capable while suffering from sleep deprivation.
