Leaders, Get Some Sleep

A recent study showed that we sleep 22% less than we did 100 years ago. This results in lower productivity, more mistakes, and lower sex drive. The average person requires seven to eight hours of sleep per night. Observations show that leaders who sleep five hours a night do not accomplish more than peers who sleep seven. Quite the contrary, a little bit of sleep results in, well, better results. Plus, a high percentage of people who are sleep deprived are drowsy or fall asleep while driving and drink lots of caffeine – both of which can be hazardous to your health.

Here is the bottom line: get adequate sleep. It is better for business and it will enhance the quality of your life.
