How does insomnia affect behavior at work?
Insomnia does not only affect fatigue. It’s not new how insomnia and lack of sleep can affect your mood the next day, but it can also affect how you feel and behave in the workplace. In addition to fatigue, insomnia can also cause undesirable behaviors that can cost you your job.
The link between sleep and workplace behavior was explored by Laura Giurge. She asked employees how well they slept and to evaluate activities in the workplace, such as a longer lunch break or improper behavior toward colleagues.
Giurge found that just one bad night’s sleep can have a strong impact on employees who would otherwise behave differently. The study shows that misconduct is not a fixed character trait. It can vary from day to day.
Insomnia and its negative impact can lead to a destructive cycle
According to the study, the negative impact of insomnia is common in those with "poor morale." Obviously, fatigue prevents employees from overcoming the feeling that they have failed and tried better the next day.
Insomnia can lead to a potentially destructive cycle that can help explain why unethical behavior is so common in organizations. Research also indicates other effects of poor sleep.
Quality sleep is associated with a number of cognitive benefits, including greater attention span, improved memory, and better coping with problems. These are just some of the reasons for quality sleep.
