Chapters

Do you notice a level increase in incivility in workplaces? What happened? Can it be linked to fact that people are sleeping less and less? When we sleep less, we tend to be more irritable, we tend to be more anxious, we tend to be more stressed, and that is how we show up. We are quick to lose temper with colleagues. We're quick to lose temper with families. We are also feeling incredibly high levels of stress. Cognitively, we pay a high price, too, our performance decline. In fact, research done by Matthew Walker showed that after 10 days of seven hours or less, we are operating at the same level of cognitive performance. And if you went 24 hours without sleep, think about that. 10 days of 7 hours or less sleep puts you at the same level of performance as 24 hours without sleep. But because the decline is gradual, we just don't notice it.
