Four to five hours of sleep impairs you as much as being legally drunk. Tom Krieglstein walks through the research on how sleep deprivation tanks cognitive performance, triggers anxiety and irritability, and wrecks your ability to work well. Sacrificing sleep for productivity is a losing trade.
Do you think you can get by on just a few hours of sleep per night? Well, think again, because sleeping only four to five hours per night is like showing up to work drunk. Yep, research shows that it impairs your mental abilities to have to the same level as a blood alcohol level above the legal driving limit. That's right. You're basically operating on autopilot, but without the beer goggles on. No wonder sleep deprivation makes us anxious, irritable, and straight up confused. I've been there. I have pulled all nighters to meet deadlines only to feel like a zombie the next day. But the truth is, sacrificing sleep for productivity is a false trade off. You might get things done in the short term, but you're gonna pay for it in the long run. So prioritize those Z's your brain and your co workers are gonna thank you.
