Sleep and Productivity

There is sufficient evidence to suggest that as sleeping hours increase the level of productivity, whether it be at home or at work, will likely increase. For example, do you ever miss some sleep because your kids are sick, you are suffering from insomnia, or you’re trying hard to get more done and sacrifice sleep in the process? After a night of little sleep, your mind isn’t as sharp as it usually is. Everyday tasks take you longer, you’re dragging, and you are more prone to make mistakes. In short, lack of sleep hurts your overall productivity.

Making sure you get enough sleep on the other hand helps you get more done in less time, and do a better job. Being productive, getting things done, feeling accomplished are all good things if you have good health habits. But if you lack good sleep habits you will soon feel stressed and run down. Over time the stress will show itself as fatigue and overwhelm which will result in burnout. To prevent this from happening, get enough sleep. Missing or low quality sleep causes brain fog making it not as sharp as it usually is. Everyday tasks take you longer, you’re dragging, and you are more prone to make mistakes. In short, lack of sleep hurts your overall productivity.
