AccordingtotheNa- tional Sleep Founda- tion, many workers don't get proper sleep and feel tired through- out the day. Chronic drowsiness and sleep deprivation cause many people issues at work, and many say they feel their work is "sub-par" because of it. A 2008 Sleep in Amer- ica poll discovered that 29 percent of employees polled admitted to falling asleep or becoming "very sleepy" at work during the previous month. An ad- ditional 12 percent said sleepiness caused them to be late to work within the last month. Swing shift workers, those who juggle multiple jobs and people with irreg- ular work hours seem to be the hardest hit by sleep issues. Chronic sleep de- privation is also tied to an increased risk of type 2 di- abetes, cardiovascular dis- ease, obesity and depres- sion. ChronicIssue Sleep is often the first thing people give up when faced with heavy work- loads, parenting respon- sibilities, irregular work schedules and time-con- suming challenges. The same NSF poll of sleep habits and the workplace found that while workers said they needed an aver- age of seven hours and 18 minutes of sleep per night to be at their best the next workday, they reported an average of six hours and 40 minutes. Even modest amounts of sleep loss accumulate over time, so a few nights of poor sleep can have a major impact on daily functioning, according to the NSF. Loss of sleep isn't just an inconvenience either. In high-risk fields such as medicine, the NSF dis- covered that when on-call residents work overnight, they have "twice as many attention failures, commit 36 percent more serious medical errors and report 300 percent more medical errors that lead to death than those who work a 16- hour shift." Tell-tale Signs That Lack of Sleep Is Affecting Your Career Sleep deprivation can lead to "tremendous emo- tional problems," accord- ing to Dr. Steven Fein- silver, the director of the Center for Sleep Medicine at Icahn School of Med- icine at Mount Sinai in New York City. Signs that employ- ees are suffering from sleep problems include in- creased hunger, weight gain, memory problems, difficulty in making de- cisions, reduced motor skills, emotional fluctua- tions, poor vision and fre- quent illness. These symptoms can lead to consequences that have a major impact on your career. TipstoGetMoreSleep Get evaluated by a phy- sician to identify or rule out a treatable medical condition. Take advantage of sleep diaries and other re- sources from the Amer- ican Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) and the National Sleep Foundation (NSF). Ask a physician to refer you to a sleep specialist or center. Evaluate your career and priorities. Ask to re- duce irregular hours or consider a job that does not require shift work. Have an honest con- versation with a supervi- sor about how lack of sleep is affecting your perfor- mance and try to find a mutually-beneficial solu- tion. Stick to a sleep sched- ule in which you go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on days off. Keep electronics out of the bedroom. Limit stress by engag- ing in relaxing activities before bed, like medita- tion, reading or taking hot baths. Although everyone has the occasional sleepless night, chronic sleep prob- lems should be taken se- riously before they nega- tively impact both you and your career.
