Sleepy workers are a business problem


The nonprofit National Sleep Foundation recently conducted a survey that reveals many American workers suffer from lack of sleep. Almost a third of employees surveyed said they had become very sleepy or actually fallen asleep on the job during the past month. 12% of those surveyed said they came to work late in the past month. 36% said they have nodded off or fallen asleep while driving, with 26% reporting driving drowsy on the job.

Factors that apparently contribute to sleepy employees include longer work hours and technology that keeps people "on the job" even beyond the regular work day. According to the survey, 63% of workers just accept being sleepy, 32% use caffeinated drinks to try to cut sleepiness, and 54% try to catch up on sleep on weekends.

For more information revealed in the survey, go to www.sleepfoundation.org.
