"In the absence of sufficient sleep, we are not as attentive or alert, we process information more slowly, miss or misinterpret social and emotional cues and decision making is impaired," said Orfeu M Buxton from the Pennsylvania State University. "For example, we may misjudge risks by undervaluing negative consequences and overvaluing potential rewards," he said. Sleep deficiency has been linked to increased risk of automobile crashes, chronic disease and early mortality.
Buxton and colleagues looked to see if a workplace intervention improved sleep quantity and quality.
Researchers followed 474 employees as part of a study conducted at an information technology company.
A year after the intervention, the researchers found that employees experienced an average of eight minutes more sleep per night, which is nearly an hour more sleep per week, than the control group. Intervention participants' perceptions of their sleep sufficiency also improved.
