It is hard to perform our tasks efficiently when we feel unproductive and tired. Who has never felt the effects of a bad night's sleep? Tiredness, slow thinking, lower productivity, and migraine can not only impair employee’s focus but also incapacitate them. Moreover, a lack of rest is also a door open for viruses and bacteria to seep into your body and lower your immunity. To size up the problem, we should consider that surveys conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) point out that 40% of the global population do not sleep as they would wish.
The ideal situation is to devote around 8 hours every 24 hours for the body to perform all the following functions: muscle rest, hormone release, memory consolidation, secretion, immune system boosting, as well as other crucial processes for a healthy body.
Sleep deprivation causes problems at work, such as:
- Aumenta os afastamentos por atestados médicos: profissionais que tem distúrbios do sono ficam mais doentes do que os que não possuem;
- Queda na produtividade causando prejuízo à empresa: profissionais que possuem distúrbios do sono não são tão produtivos quanto poderiam, isso causa um déficit na empresa;
- Redução na capacidade mental: dificuldade na tomada de decisões, resolução de problemas e desafios.
If you are to have a good night’s sleep, consider these tips:
- Sleep in a dark, quiet, comfortable, and cool room;
- Establish a few bedtime habits, such as having a warm shower.
- Be physically active.
- Have light meals.
If you have symptoms such as excessive daytime sleepiness, morning headaches, difficulty falling asleep and maintaining sleep, difficulty concentrating, lower productivity, you might have a sleep disorder.
